Going round in circles!!

I have been making a real effort to catch up on making blog comments but I am also trying to make more pages for Art Journal Journey where Alison's 'Geometric shapes' has me thinking about the shapes I use!
Most of the shapes you see here are circles but there are also rectangles,part of a square and some ovals.
The page started with a card from one of my favourite haberdasheries in Paris, I added the AALL and create scissors which had been stamped on to Deli paper! There were lots of other scraps lying around that I used too and I added some denim coloured paint around the top edge.

If you can access Instagram you will see that this also part of Tiffany Goff Smiths (Southerngals)Use It Up, Fill It Up challenge!
I am enjoying making these collages in either an A5 sketch book or my junk journal - although I did divert into my smallest journal to make this one

Thanks for looking, Chris

  2. Hello Chris, that is a wonderful collage with all the nice black and white motifs on it. So well composed. I like that much. The tiny page with the sweet bird looks also very nice.
    Dear Greetings

  3. Two super pages Chris, I love the monotone colouring you used on the first one the images really stand out.

  7. I'm surprised at how much more I see in these art works now that I'm trying to make a few of my own :) I like the idea of a mini journal. I hadn't thought about using one of those small blank books for things like this. I do like that little collage :)

  8. I love the simplicity of the black and white images - the lines and shapes and shading all tickle the eye differently, and those delicate denim shadows creeping in from the edge are really dramatic. The tiny bird page is just adorable - the warm rosy tones are really heartwarming.

  9. Beautiful journal pages! The black and white page looks wonderful, especially the little bird in the hat which made me smile, so adorable ...lol 😉. Your use it up page is so pretty too, the colours and composition remind me of springtime! It's been cold and frosty here (no snow) but we have had some sunshine too which made for some nice walks as long as we wrapped up warm. Stay warm and wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊 x

  10. Although my eye was instantly drawn to the scissor I assume that this is because of the depth of the black on the page but I am drawn to the picture top left which you say is from your favourite shop in Paris. There is something very evocative about it. The other pictures all add up to a well balanced and extremely pleasing page - love it Chris.
    Hugs, Neet xx
