Hello Everyone.
Here is my week 48 page for Michelle/RaspberryBlueSky's 52 Weeks Art Journal Challenge. The theme for this page is 'Roots'.
I started with a layer of collage and a light application of white acrylic paint, then I used a PaperArtsy Mini stamp 'La Porte Bleue' for my door, and sketched and painted the house and roots around it. It looks a tiny bit spooky, but that wasn't my intention.
Thanks for visiting.

Impressive page, Alison. I like the blue color combo of the background and idea of roots.
ReplyDeleteHave a good start to the new week 👍😘
I don't think it looks spooky at all, Alison. I think it is beautiful and I was so impressed how you covered two challenges with this great door and roots. It's really beautiful. So glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey using Valerie's theme, too.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned you were interested in soap making, so here is what we did:

If you decide to make it, be sure to read as much as you can before you start. The internet is full of good advice and tales of caution, too. Then, if you have any questions, I will be glad to help in any way I can.
Thanks so much for that Elizabeth!

fingers crossed this actually posts x
That is a very cool take on the roots theme. I think houses do have roots, to the people living in them at least. I think this also works great for Valerie's theme at AJJ. Thanks so much for linking up Alison. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteVery creative take on your prompt, love the idea of a house having roots, xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to give your house roots - love that door! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous page Alison, and so meaningful too. We all put our roots down in our homes.

A fantastic page and I can relate to a house having roots, step though the door to be home and safe. A super page for Valerie's AJJ theme, thanks for linking.

A wonderful interpretation. It does not look spooky at all, I feel that I would find warmth and safety behind that door.
