Hi Everybody!
Just a quick post today, I've got visitors coming this
morning and need to get ready!
I made a mixed media A3 collage. The BG was painted
with blue and green metallics and textured with a
crackle stamp. The squares were added with a
CWS stencil and the words with a Seth Apter
one that Sue sent me for Christmas, thanks again!
Everything else was collaged.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday
and to Simon Wednesday Challenge, layer it up.
And some photos from my corner of the world:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Amazing page Valerie, it's a great size to work on A3 (maybe sharing one of my A3 creations over the weekend!!) Love those colours you have used and your collage image. The red from her jacket really makes the background pop. Super spread.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy time with you guests and have a wonderful weekend.
Warm Wishes Tracey x

Wow-that sky is such a pretty blue. Looks like your world is pretty mellow for January. No snow or ice nd probably you still have flowers. :) Great journal page today. I like that stylish lady and how she works on your background. Perfect page for a cold morning in my world. Happy Friday. Have fun with your company. Hugs-Erika

Beautiful photos...as always!! I love the inclusion of the leopard at the girl's feet on your art page!!
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork, as always. The pointing fingers add an interesting element. Makes me wonder if they're "ooh-la-la" kinda points or accusatory ones...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your company, and have a super weekend!
Perhaps one of each?
DeleteLove your page. The sentiment is perfect and apropos for my Eldest as she begins her new life in Pennsylvania. I just hope she's as confident as the young woman on your page. Your pictures are fabulous. Awesome how you caught the light in the beautiful cloud formations. I love the black bird and his bright beak. The ferry boats look like they are having a race.
ReplyDeleteI like your collage, Valerie. You must be either very young and energetic or very efficient to be able to do art just before having company! Your scenic photos are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm more old and tired but I work in advance!
DeleteAwesome page! and I always love seeing all of your photos. what kine of bird is that? thanks

Wonderful mixed media piece, I imagine this woman is walking through life while dealing with all the various distractions, difficulties and changes all around. Also, such a cute bird with the little orange beak!
