In the pink

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's lovely 'Colour in my world'

theme, and for Simon Monday Challenge, 

'it's written in the stars' I have an A3 mixed media page. 

For the BG I splodged white,quin red and titan buff liquid 

acrylics from Deco art onto my page

and brayered them quickly to mix and move the colours. I then used 

a star/snowflake brayer-stamp to give some texture.

When it was dry I collaged 

the image of the lady, cut from a magazine, 

and used various stencils round about to

give some depth. The other images, including the

scribbly ones,  are all die cuts, made from 2 

sets of dies bought from Aliexpress in China, where they

offer a great selection of very reasonably priced, good quality stuff,

which is sent with free shipping.

I cut them from some scraps of paper painted with brown

metallics. The Eiffel tower was cut from a paper napkin. I used

some sewing to edge the page:

After the flea market on Sunday we visited a newly built

cultural centre in Neuss, called the Romaneum. When you go into the foyer 

you can look down onto houses from Roman times to the middle ages - a very fascinating view into the history literally under our feet:

Various pots and glass from Roman times up to the

19th century:

There is also a reading corner, where you can bring, take or swap books and magazines

Exhibitions are also held there, and at the moment there are paintings

from Gisa Rosa:

The best photos are still to come - watch this space!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
