Dawn Chorus

Hi everyone, it's time for a new host and theme at Art Journal Journey.

Thank to Alison for hosting with her brilliant theme.

This month we have Matilde of craftowanie.blogspot.com  with another fabulous theme - 'Birds' 

I am hoping that one of my favourite creatures will prompt my mojo to return from wherever they have gone!

For now I have followed Dina Wakley's style and used some of her collage papers.

Fortunately I have lots of backgrounds in my journals (about all I have been making!) I added some stamped dots, a print of a background I made at a Dina workshop many years ago and some circles echoing the ones on Dina's collage paper.

I added some writing(prompted by the blackbird singing his heart out this afternoon - I mainly hear him at 5 in the morning!) and spatters too.

I hope you will join us, please take a look at our rules - they have changed this year. 

Thanks for looking, Chris

    I love how you created this page and the images you used. If you find any mojo and have some to spare I sure could use some these days.
    Hope you are fully recovered and well.

    I love the dawn chorus. I know lots of people get annoyed by all the noise, but it is really sweet, like your beautiful page today. I love the texture in your page and those fun birds. I like Dina W's style too. I have even been lucky enough to take a couple of classes with her in the past; wish there was a place around still offering great classes lie that. Happy May day Chris. Hope you can get online better than you have been able to. Hugs-Erika

    Perfect page for May Day. It's so lovely to listen to the birds and not need an alarm clock
