I had a background in my A6 journal (the smallest allowed in the Art Journal Journey Challenge) but it was a little brighter than I liked so I added gesso over the top - scraped on with a faux credit card.
I dipped a coffee stirrer into paint (PA Fresco Sky and Orchid) to draw the heart and the border and stuck on the mittens from a recent purchase at The Works.
I wrote the words with a Derwent Graphik line marker.
This is my latest of 101 Ways to Keep Warm.
I hope you are keeping warm - the temperature has dropped here quite a lot so we are wrapping up warm for our walk this afternoon!
Thanks for looking, Chris

The weather is definitely colder today, yet the sun was shining brightly in a lovely blue sky. Love your journal cover. Certainly need your woolly mittens in the months to come. Hugs Rita xxxx
Lovely page Chris, I could do with some warm mitts, my hands are freezing! Enjoy your Sunday, hugs, Valerie
I had no idea that is what the saying meant, either, but I certainly love your interpretation of it. It's an absolutely fabulous entry for your challenge at AJJ.
That's funny Chris. I'll have to think about what I thought it meant.
Love the sweet little mittens (are they for the three (two) little kittens who've lost their mittens?).
That was a saying used often by my Gran, it is a wonderful page Chris.

I love the little mittens. And I especially appreciated the quote. My mother said it all the time, and I didn't realize it had to do with showing emotions. It makes the piece even better. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
A good definition on the quote Chris - and often it is so.... ♥♥♥ YOu are totally right!
Love your little mittens I have something made with mittens as well for the theme - will show it later.
I wish you a warm heart and a good new week and say thank you very much for your great hosting of the theme my friend!
