I fear I've been caught off guard and haven't even thought about creating a 2nd Thursday Tutorial. I will have one ready by next Thursday, though.
Instead, I'm once again joining
Chris from
PearShapedCrafting who is this month's host at
Art Journal Journey. Chris wants us to give her
101 Ways to Stay Warm.

And because this is also all about the beautiful women in the picture, I'm also joining
Moo-Mania & More with their
Make it Feminine theme.

For this spread, I began by painting a sunrise (or maybe sunset) background, which I promptly and unfortunately covered with the focal image (found in a magazine) once it was dry. I added cheesecloth at the top and bottom, three shells, and computer generated text (it's odd how my spell checker in my word processing program corrected how I spelled Caribbean).
This is Day 9 of
AEDM, and I am checking in with
Art Journal Journey and
Moo-Mania & More. Thanks, also for stopping by. I always appreciate
your visits.

Gorgeous pages, I would love to be somewhere warm just now and not shivering here at my desk! Have a lovely day, hope Firefox is behaving itself. Hugs, Valerie
Oh yes! Let's! This is a fabulous entry for my theme Elizabeth - it definitely made me feel warm - your background looks exactly like a warm sunny day! Have a great Day!Chrisx
A fabulous motif and you used it in a very beautiful way on your page ! Reminds me of Carnival in Rio as well....
The carribbean - oh yes I would like to warm my cold bones there!
A happy page for AJJ and a beautiful feminine entry for Moo Mania & More!
Thank you my friend!
Happy Thursday - I am off to do grocery shopping now.

I could go for the Caribbean right now. Just sit on the beach, sleep late, read. I've been fighting a head cold and man, not really in the work mode. Love your page and the lady who looks like she is celebrating Carnival. It's very inspiring. :) happy Thursday. Hugs-Erika
I think we're finally getting cold weather (if the heat coming on is any indication) - and truthfully, I'm ready for it! 80 degrees in November is just not right.
Love this - it is very joyful, and all the mixed media is wonderful!
Your page is the perfect warm and bright spot for my week. We got a dusting of snow yesterday. Much too early for cold and snow. So, yes, please book me on your Caribbean tour. My bags are packed.
Great page ... especially as I definitely needed warming up today!
This is such beautiful art work. I'm an art love and teach an after school art club for 8-12 year-olds at a community center. I think aft is such an important part of life. These pages are gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. It wa nice to meet you. I'll be back here in the future. Have a great day.
Your page makes one want to travel to those exotic islands.
On my side of the world, it's been very hot, in fact on the news it was announced it's been the warmest November in 120 years!!
Temperatures have been around the 29-31C (84-88F).
Book me a ticket, its a fabulous destination to get away from the cold.
I love this page, it makes me have a warm glow inside.
We have just come in from a rather cool outing and had frost again this morning, winter is nearly here.

Such a fun page. You have me smiling and feeling warm. Wishing you a happy day Elizabeth.
A fantastic piece, Elisabeth
Thank you so much for joining us at MOO MANIA & MORE
What a fun post!!
It would be lovely to head to the Caribbean for some sunshine and your pages captures the warm beach atmosphere wonderfully 😁. The background colours are beautiful! Have a great day! J 😊
From fall leafs to carribean summer in one day, you gotta do it! Beautiful pages!
Look at that, I commented as Nelly&Norah! It just happened, I don't know how! Seems like the Universe is very kind with me today after all those days of chaos, I got a looot of creating time today ànd easy comment posting. Yay! :-D
I wouldn't mind being warm in the Caribbean right now! Our temps are dropping fast!
This is just lovely. I intend on following your advice in a couple of months:)
While your artwork is amazing as ever, believe it or not, I'm not a fan of hot weather. Very strange considering I was born in August. So if I had my way, an Alaskan cruise would be my vacation choice, along with tacos, cheeseburgers, and a ton of books. (lol) Right now, the weather is hovering between the 40's and 50's, so I'm doing the happy dance! Happy Thursday night! Hugs...
Your pages are perfect!
We have had a chilly day today so it was lovely to see them!
All the best Jan
Oh yeah, let's dancing ans imagining to be in the Caribic. That's a famous way against the cold and grey... Thank you :)
And: thank you for your visit and lovely comment.
By the way: I have always two challenges: make matching colors not only in one picture, but it should be matching to the colors of my previous post. When you scroll through my blog, you can see: I'm a woman of color-rhythms (not alway successful, but I try)...
Have a colorful sunday
sounds like a good idea :)
