I'm once again joining Erika aka BioArtGal who is hosting Art Journal Journey this month with her theme Vintage or Modern.
I call this one Inspired by Audubon.
"Inspired by
Audubon."
For this piece, I began by adhering a sheet of handmade paper (HMP) to a sheet of 110 lb cardstock. The HMP was a reject because I had added rose petals to the paper pulp and the roses bled into the wet pulp as it dried. I printed three vintage bird images for which I carefully fussy cut rounded edges. I added tea stains using a tea bag on each of the bird images. Finally, against my better judgement, I hand printed the sentiment using a metallic gel pen.Bleubeard and I are so happy you chose to join us today and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
For Day 10 of Art Every Day Month (AEDM), I created a journal page.
I want to reiterate, if you are on Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, or G +, I will visit, but I cannot leave a comment since I'm not a member of any of those platforms.

Your Vintage Birds grace your HMP very well, i've not made paper for years. Maybe something to dabble in again in the new year.

Great page, love the bird images, I need to look him up now.
Nice vintage looking pages Elizabeth.

Wonderful. The tea staining give the bird images a very vintage look as does the use of your hand-lettering. Nicely done.
You did Audubon porus with this piece. I love htta handmade paper. It came out perfect as a vintage background (or many other things)and I those bird images are quite beautiful too. Thanks so much for your support and for joining in again over at AJJ. I know you are one of the administrators but it is still great to have you join. Happy Saturda. Hugs-Erika
Fabulous drawings on your wonderful page dear Elizabeth!
A fantastic entry for Erika's AJJ theme!
Happy Saturday!

What a great idea! I'm fortunate to have an Audubon preserve near me, although I usually only get woodland photos there, and no birds (go figure), even though I hear the birds chirping whenever I'm there. I love the Audubon prints.
I'm always impressed by your handmade paper. It's really a highlight for me.
This is great, Elizabeth! I love the vintage look:)
Hope your weekend is creative and pleasant.
Beautiful! I love the Audubon prints. :)
Those are lovely images and make a lovely page. Great when the ‘rejects’ find a good home. :). Beautiful paper.
These are wonderful drawings, I did not know Audubon (now I have to look at google). Your hand made paper give a magical background for these pictures and I like your metallic handlettering!
Wish you a happy weekend! Rike xx
