I realize I'm a tad late arriving at the party,
but I want to join Moo-Mania & More for their Sunset challenge.
I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday with their latest challenge of My Friend (which can include human, animal, imaginary, practically anything, I suspect). 
In case you can't read it,Best friends and sisters Mary and MildredI apologize, but the lighting is very difficult tonight (yes, I just finished this).
walk on the beach at sunset.
Mary looks a lot happier to be on this beach than Mildred. And I should have made the sandpaper look more like a beach and less like a sand dune! 
Of course, this piece wouldn't be complete unless I added it to Yvonne's chosen theme of Colo(u)r in my World at Art Journal Journey. Today's colors are obviously inspired by a sunset.Materials used include a used file folder, various acrylic paints, a TH paper doll, sandpaper, and computer generated text printed on PINK copier/printer paper. If you weren't here yesterday, I found an entire ream of pink paper and I'm desperately trying to use it, even though it's my least favorite color.
Please join me at Moo-Mania & More, Try it on Tuesday, and Art Journal Journey (or click the links on my right sidebar). And thank you for visiting today. It means the world to me.
Wonderful page, cleverly composed and combined to fit through challenges. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie

I really hope you feel completely recovered and powerful now again!

waue this is awsome love it
ReplyDeleteThis looks a gorgeous sunset, I think Mary and Mildred will have good memories of this scene. I would.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good idea using sandpaper for your beach as well.
I am so pleased you joined us at TioT's and gave a happy sigh, when I saw this wonderful page was also for Art Journal Journey.

Your Sisters at Sunset (great title) may be one of my favorites of all the work I've see you do. Such a nice mix of the painting and collage and the image, color and the words really speak to me.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I loved your comment! I should have been clear about London -- you weren't the only one who thought that, I've learned! You can't help having a blond moment if all the info isn't accurately presented! Ha!
Thanks for coming on the journey of all those posts. One more travel tips one and then I'm on to other things!
Oh wow, I love this! The colours you've used are incredible. I always enjoy your sandpaper beaches (or dunes) I think it looks very beachy. Great placement of the girls and words - the whole page works beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous, Elisabeth.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining us at MOO MANIA & MORE and at TRY IT ON TUESDAY.
Have a wonderful weekend
Great page. I would like to be on the beach with Mary and Mildred.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great page ... love it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
wow-this is fabulous Elizabeth!! Love that background which so looks like palette painting and becoming a favorite technique of mine. Of course, you gotta love those paper dolls-no fussy cutting:) happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better place for sisters to be than walking on the beach.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a weekend filled with sunshine, butterflies and gentle breezes.
Love the title..super cute and creative. Your color choices are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think Mart and Mildred got lucky not only to have each other and even more lucky to see such a beautiful sunset! Great page. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI like the way the sandpaper looks and your sunset colors. I'd gladly join the girls in that setting :)
ReplyDeleteTrying to keep up here! I love this both for the sunset you made and the words you have used! I am so pleased to see that you joined us at Try It On Tuesday as well as the other challenges that it fits so well!You know I love those paper dolls too!Hugs, Chrisx
