March Art Journal Calendar for AJJ Anything Goes

Hello friends.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. I have little energy for much. I think it must be from Covid, my legs are weaker and achy. I've managed to go for slower shorter walks, not too many hills, and to continue with my daily mini collages though, I'm not giving in to it!

I'm sharing my March art journal calendar today, and linking it to Valerie's Anything Goes theme at Art Journal Journey.

I started with a background of teabags, scraped on some gesso, and used my finger to apply the blue marks.

I applied orange paint with  hand-cut circle stencil, added yellow petals and black pen outlines. I hand-wrote the title in the same way, and finished with splashes of watery blue paint.

Here's my completed February page...

I hope you're all keeping well, and enjoying lots of creative time.

365 Somethings - Days 24-30

 Hello all.

Here are some more of my 365 mini collages. I've given up timing them, but they usually take 15 minutes or less.

Thanks for visiting,

Alison

365 Somethings - Days 17-23

Hello friends.

Yipee! I don't have covid anymore! I tested negative yesterday, and celebrated with a walk with my good friend Louise and her dog, and also her neighbour's dog. We usually walk once a week, and I had a lovely welcome back from sweet Pascal the poodle and Tilly the cockerpoo. 

I've started to catch up with my 365 Somethings, so here are another week's worth.

Thank you so much for visiting, and for your lovely supportive comments.

365 Somethings 2023 - 14-16

Hello Friends.

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my calendar post, and your kind wishes for my recovery, they were very much appreciated. 

I thought I would share the three 5 minute mini collages I made before I ended up in hospital. I hope to get back to these, maybe today I'll be motivated. I'm feeling better and a bit more energized now. 

Looking at these collages makes me keen to make some more, so watch this space.

Thank you so much for visiting,

big hugs,

Alison

February Art Journal Calendar

Hello Friends.

I've been on a little break from blogging, not from choice I might add.

I suffered an oesophageal bleed on the 16th Jan, ended up in hospital for a few days. I had some surgery, then came home to recover, only to find out I'd caught covid during my stay. I'm glad to say I'm recovering from the surgery and covid, but I'm getting some unpleasant side effects from the medication which is wiping me out even more.

I did make it into my studio yesterday, and got my February art journal calendar made. I'm linking my spread to Erika's Red theme at Art Journal Journey. 

Here's my completed January spread.

Thanks for coming to visit me today. I shall do some visiting myself now.

Hugs,

Alison
