February Art Marks Day 23 - Invent

Hello Folks! 

I just got back from my usual Tuesday Silver Screen cinema trip. Today I had the company of my lovely friend Jan. We went to see 'Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool', a lovely film about the relationship between ageing Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, and young Liverpudlian actor Peter Turner. We both loved it. 

Getting back to today's art marks page with the word prompt 'Invent'. I believe this past year I have been re-inventing myself through art journaling. I love the direction I'm taking on this current adventure too.


I used iris images from Vision Express (opticians) junkmail, added teabags, stencilling, and marks. I'm entering my page for MOO-MANIA's Think Of Spring Challenge. Spring is a great time to re-invent ourselves!


We've had a few inches of snow here during the day, so I'm now turning up the heating, and bunkering down till it goes away. Hope you're all keeping warm!

  2. This is delightful Alison, I love your reuse of the BIG Iris, the burst of orange compliments its flecks.. I love the thought of reinventing yourself through art, time stops me from walking this path oh so often. Keep them coming Alison as I am loving them.

  6. Your last 2 journal pages are so vibrant. I love the colors-but I have told you that before! And I haven't heard of that film, but it sounds interesting. I don't know much about film stars from Britain and that golden age of movies. Happy end of February. Hugs-Erika

  14. I am back from my trip, where I spent two very sleepless days and nights. After returning, I crashed and now I am playing catch-up. This is a beautiful page, and I adore that you chose junk mail as part of your page, along with your signature teabags. It is a fabulous way to invent yourself.
