Well, it may just be up to me, but I hope you agree that this qualifies as an Art Journal Journey Entry for the the new theme chosen by this month's host, Erika(BioArtGirl)! She has chosen the theme 'In The Sky/In The Air'
I started my page with one intention for the background but wasn't happy, so I added more paint and then used AALLandcreate's Autourdemwa stencil with some Fresco paint to tone it down!
I made the journal squares with leftovers from other pages, there wasn't much left but I was able to use pink for the two Bank Holidays,
The images came from from one of the Stamperama pads I bought in Paris....no point just looking at them!!
Our gardens wouldn't be the same without birds singing and the odd butterly or bee and I have a flurry of butterflies here up above the garden!
Last month's page was much brighter and here it is all filled in...feel free to enlarge to read it
Here are some more of my circle entries for the Everything Circles Instagram challenge
Collage and doodling
Gelli plate and stamping
Collage and Stamping
I used a background that had been in my journal for ages and added some pink, a gelli print circle, some scraps and some paper dolls.
The images reminded me of some Beatles songs so I doodled/wrote the song titles around the page.
I will be getting my 'Second on the 2nd post ready this evening so that I can join Bleubeard and Elizabeth tomorrow.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Your May calendar page is incredible, dear Chris. I love how you angled the colors and set the bank holidays apart. Clever use of color and a great first entry for Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey. LOVE those butterflies flying free.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful and all so different circle entries are incredible. I love how you chose to not use only circles, but mix it up with journal pages, collage, and stamping. Great choices.
