This is a very quick visit (and probably scheduled!)
It is my latest entry to Art Journal Journey - the theme - 'If You Go Down To The Woods'
I love looking out for birds among the branches when we visit woods - I usually hear them before I see them and some songs I recognise immediately.
This page uses some paper that I have had for a while, already printed with text.I ripped it diagonally and added some mop - up kitchen towel. I then added some stencilling and some stamping over both. The feather at the bottom was layered onto some more mop up paper, some hand made paper and a piece of napkin with a feather picture on it - unfortunately the latter did not show up so I have used a real feather(from some earrings I bought for 50p on a visit to Claires Accessories with my Grand Daughter.
The picture of the bird is from a Papermania set and the Freedom word is from the Zen Angelic words from Lavinia Stamps.
I hope to take a woodland walk this weekend!
Thanks for looking,Chris
