Hi everyone, I‘m so happy to be asked back to host at Art Journal Journey this month!
My first thoughts when knowing I was here for August were of Neil Diamond’s famous concert in Los Angeles in 1972.
As August is a time for holidays for many my theme is 'Hot Summer’ (Nights and Days) I am not a great lover of being in the sun so I am often found sitting in the shade with a cold drink and my journal
I can’t promise that a few of the song titles from that concert won’t feature here as it’s an album I play quite a lot!
My first page contains photos from our own holidays in France where we see fabulous sunsets. The main image is from last year when we were at my son’s place and decided to watch the sunset as we ate our evening meal picnic style.
I started by blending some NeocolourII crayons over my page. Next came some stamping with a squiggly stamp using Distress Oxides. The bunting, butterfly and bee are stickers.
I look forward to seeing how you interpret my theme!
The last few weeks have busy for me - I have been helping my talented granddaughter get ready for setting up her nail art business.
She was decorating nails with stationery themed art at Stationeryfest/ Journalfest last weekend and starts work in a salon next week.
I am looking forward getting back to my art journals now
Thanks for looking, Chris
