Journal 52, Week 46: Color Me (along with AJJ and MM&M) Crazy

I'd like to begin by saying my heart goes out to the people of Paris, France tonight.  These vicious attacks that killed at least 150 innocent people are horrendous and unforgivable. Let's also keep those who have lost loved ones, family, and friends to these attackers in our thoughts.

At Journal 52 Chelle had some exciting news for Week 46. It is a new Art Journalist community where we can join and upload our art.  I have decided I won't join, because this will be the final year I play.  I took a look around and it looked overwhelming already.  I'll finish the year, then say good bye to this fun experience I had for two years, especially since I'm not a much of a journaler. 

But let's get to this week's prompt which is "Color Me Crazy."  According to Chelle:

for this week’s prompt, break out all of your favorite colors to make a page in your journal that is bright and bold!

Along with Journal 52, or Art Journalist,

I'm also joining Moo-Mania and More with a crown, as well as Art Journal Journey where I'm honoring their autumn theme.

I began by spritzing some of my handmade shimmering mists to the background.  While I was spritzing, I did the same to a strip of card stock, then wrote the title, which is Autumn's Crowning Glory.

I got a bit of the spritzed mists on the leaves,

and saturated the once neon yellow crown with autumn inspired colors.


One final look at this entry shows I once again forgot the week number before I scanned this piece that started with my used file folder.  I added silk leaves, handmade shimmering mists, my title using a brown Micron pen, and a felt crown.

Don't forget to visit Art Journal Journey to be inspired by their autumn theme, and Moo-Mania and More, whose theme is a crown.  And we can't forget Journal 52 or whatever name it will go by in the future.

It goes without saying this is Day 14 of Art Every Day month or AEDM and I created a page for Journal 52, and included Art Journal Journey's and Moo-Mania and More's challenges, too.

Thank you as always for visiting.  It means the world to me.
