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,

 Hello Friends.

Here is my week two junk journal page for the Seek Gather Create Instagram challenge. 

The 4 items to use were...

Acid Green, Fabric, Puzzle, Pebbles.

I'm linking my page to Chris' theme of Where In The World theme at Art Journal Journey. South London/Bexleyheath is where I grew up, and I've spent my married life in Orpington. I used the relevant piece of page from an old map book.

I've used PaperArtsy stamps on my gelliprint page and on the puzzle piece, and I created the 'pebbles' by making tiny blobs with a glue gun, then painting them with PaperArtsy Fresco acrylics.

Thanks for popping by my blog.
