Springtime in the meadow

If you live in the United States, be sure to set your clocks forward.  I hope you did this before you went to bed, but if not, please do so now.  Also, right before midnight we got a few drops of rain for the first time in many weeks.  Apparently, we got 0.01 (or 1/100th) of an inch.  Not enough to pull us out of our drought, but enough to wet the sidewalk, at least.  Thanks for wishing rain for me, because it actually worked!!!

I'm once again joining Rosie at Rosie's Kleine Bastelwelt (Rosie's Small Craft World) this month's host at Art Journal Journey whose theme is Spring.

These little boys are enjoying spring by taking a walk through the meadow.

This is actually a replica of a painting from my local art museum I picked up while I was there last year.

I used a piece of vellum for a mat.

I created this page in my Challenges altered book by laying down two colors of brown water soluble crayons.  I had saved the pale yellow vellum for a long time.  It was such an odd shape I knew I would have to incorporate it in a unique spread.  What I didn't realize was Squiggles (or perhaps Bleubeard) found it when I dropped it on my way to the craft room.  By the time I found it, there were claw marks on the bottom and one side, and it had been bent on one edge.  I cut off what I could and tried to straighten the bent edge.  So much for a pristine piece of vellum!

Thank you beyond belief for your continued support of my art.  Your visit means the world to me.  Today you will find me at Art Journal Journey.  Hope to see you there, too.
