AJJ - When It's Hot

Hi Everyone! I have another page to share for Erika's When It's Hot theme at Art Journal Journey. For some reason, new Blogger's linking isn't working, so here's the link to the challenge (hopefully!): https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/2020/07/when-its-hot.html

I don't know about you, but when it's hot I don't particularly want to move or do anything, although the lady on my page looks like she is dancing, or maybe she's lying flat out on the ground!

Thanks for popping by,

Kasia's Advent Calendar - Day 9 - Breathe

Here's my page for Kasia's Advent Calendar Day 9, the theme was Breathe.

We were asked to do simple breathing exercise and meditation, breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, and breathe out for 8 counts. Then to make a some art. I started with a book page from a bird book, then used my fingers to apply paint. I used a pinecone to make white marks, my finger to make green ones on RH side. I used Dina Wakley Scribble sticks for writing and red marks, and splatters of dark blue. A black gel pen was used to highlight words and add scribbles.

Thanks for the visit,

Collage Wishes

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I did a simple collage art journal page, so I found a few scraps in my paper scrap box, and put this one together for Eileen's Dreams/Wishes theme at Art Journal Journey.

I used Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks to draw circles and add watery splashes. You might just be able to spot part of the word Turquoise on the square of book page under the big circle. It was from The Turquoise by Anya Seton, and it inspired the colours I chose.

Have a happy one!
