Seek Gather Create - Week One

 Hello Friends.

I'm joining in with the Seek Gather Create challenge on Instagram. It's a weekly challenge, just for one month, but it usually happens a couple of times a year.

 The Week One items to use are...

Something blue, something see-through, a fish and a circle.


I had fun creating my little collage fish :-) 

My something see-through is part of the top of an organza bag that yarn comes in when I order it online. The fabric is very light and shimmery, so I'm linking up to Vicki's Keeping it light theme at Art Journal Journey.

There's also some shiny gold shimmering on the light blue circle.


Thanks for dropping by,

Day 3 - hearts painted with ink, then I cut one out and collaged onto a teabag.



Day 4 - Layered hearts cut from gelliprints.


Day 5 - Watercolour.


Day 6 - Watercolour.


Day 7 - strips of home-made washi tape applied to cardstock, then a heart cut out by hand.

February Art Journal Calendar

 Hello Friends.

I'm getting dozy in my old age! I thought I'd already posted my February calendar pages. Anyway, here they are.

I created my pages with Vicki's theme of Keeping It Light at Art Journal Journey in mind, and added some lightbulbs to journal in.



I think the border I created with a Dina Wakley stamp looks a bit like a row of lit matches, lol.

I finished my page with a lovely Helen Keller quote.


And here's my completed January calendar.


Have a happy February, and thanks for dropping by.
