Before we left we unpacked our bags but there now seem to be little piles of things to sort through everywhere! I was happy to see the cases put away though!
I have been trying to find time to make some pages for my theme, as well as make some phone calls, pay bills and of course to tackle the washing and ironing! I have a book by my bedside that I am looking forward to getting back to soon too!
In fact this is what my page is about, I saw this image on a leaflet in a Tourist information centre and immediately thought...'journal page'!
I used a gelli plate to print my background, along with a little bit of water colour paint along the binder edge.
I cut out the image and added some quote stamps, can't remember where from though! I wrote 'Read a book' and then used watercolour pencil to outline the image.I hope 'We're all going' to find time to do something we love to do!I am of course linking to Art Journal Journey
I have a few more photos of beautiful Beaune to show you before I move on to Lyon
Some more market pics too!
atmosphere at the market!
The little boy in the foreground was dancing most of the time!
I'll be back soon with photos of the main reason we came to Beaune!
Thanks for looking, Chris
Lovely artwork and fantastic photos.
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is wonderful. It's definitely worth taking time to read a book. I like the focal image you chose. It's always fun to keep an eye out for any paper product that can be used in art. thank beyond belief for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey. I'm really loving your theme.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I'd have stopped for cheese, too. I love it, especially any of the white cheeses.
I love the tiled wall in the first photo with those precarious looking plant pots - fantastic photo (also thinking journal page) no to the cheese for me, especially if it smells! but the fruits looked fantastic. I love how colourful markets are set out like that..
ReplyDeleteoh, and great journal page, sorry I forgot!
ReplyDeleteLove your journal page-and loved that market-once we get moved I am looking forward to exploring some farmers markets.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed the photos-hope you were able to get settled and rest a bit too Hugs Kathy
I love the page - gorgeous - as a former bookseller it is like honey to me! Great impressions! Thank you very much for another fantastic inspirational page linked to your fabulous topic dear Chris! Happy start of the new week ahead!

You certainly know how to stay busy! I'm amazed at those plant pots. How would you go about watering those, I wonder. I love the idea of a "help yourself" herb garden. It'd be a fun way to get starts of herbs you'd like to try without having to invest in a whole potted plant. I'm interested in those little metal sculptures. I've got just the spot ;) The cheese and dried fruit look delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely town!
ReplyDeleteYour gelli background was perfect for that page. :)
Wow,you found a great picture for your awesome journal page. They look fabulous how you set them on the page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing wonderful photos. Delicious cheese desk indeed 😋
Happy upcoming week ☺️
No sure if my comment saved or not as I got a weird message when I hit post. I love the journal page, and I know what you mean about finding some reading time lately. That is a cool image you used. And Beaune seems like a great town. I love those little metal birds in the one photo. Looks like your trip to France has been really interesting. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
