I'm once again joining Gill at Gibby Froggett Craftations, this month's host at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is Inspired by . . . and what could be more inspiring than seafood (unless you are allergic to shellfish, of course).
I created this in my large art journal. I've included a few detail shots.
I made a mistake when I placed this on the page and got it upside down. You never would have known had the artist not signed his/her name. 
I started with a pink page I adhered to my large art journal, then realized nothing matched the pink background. That's when I got out my blue handmade shimmering mist and, instead of misting it all over the page, I uncapped the mister and washed the page using a paintbrush. Then I found magazine images that fit the seafood theme, and went from there.Thank you for joining me today. I hope you will join me at Art Journal Journey, too.
Wonderful page. I like fish, but not all the other sea-foods. Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI too love seafood Elizabeth, not had lobster for a long time though. Using the handmade shimmer spray in this way gives an all over sparkle, just like the shimmer of the sun on the sea. Fabulous.

Brilliant page, I love sea food and when I see food I eat it more and more, especially fish....love this.x
ReplyDeleteFabulous page Elizabeth - I love all the imagery. I could almost smell the salty sea air :) It makes me want to go down by the sea now!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely day. Gill x
Your page is just fabulous dear Elizabeth and I admit that I like seafood - I really struggled with that in the beginning of my - I will not eat animals from now on- way. I don't eat often fish but if my family gets their "Wiener Schnitzel" and meat at the restaurant or at home I love that I have the opportunity to get fried fish or squid rings beside of just cheese-noodles, especially when the restaurant don't offer any other yummie vegetarian food, what often happens. So I decided to go the "sometimes" on rare occasions - pescetarian way now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous page for AJJ - the images are fabulous and I love how you altered your background in a quick way.
Happy Thursday dear!
Hugs, Susi
I'm with you. Seafood is yummy and one of my favorites. I would never have noticed those oysters were upside down unless you pointed it out. You made a great tribute to some of the best food. :) Hope all is well. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a sucker for seafood -- love just about any fish or seafood I can find. So this page really makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love this and would be neat in a frame for a nautical room. I love seafoods too-mostly fish and shrimp
ReplyDeleteLove your seafood page. I like the way the images are framed as they make me thing of ocean inspired tiles.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous page even though I am not a sea food fan! I love fish though! Hugs,Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI'll have the crab, please :) I like the way your background turned out.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful page Elizabeth !! I recognize I like fish. This blue background is so beautiful!! like the effect with pink.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very nice afternoon, big hugss, Caty
Wonderful page! Hugs, Lenie
ReplyDeleteelizabeth; what a great piece this week; I'm hearing sounds of: YAYZ & HOORAYZ and encore encore in the background from da tabbies ~~~~
ReplyDelete☺☺♥♥
I particularly like the colors and arrangement of the orange lobster on blue stripes and the orange crab over the waves (I'm thinking they are waves.) But they are all intriguing.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm on board for seafood as well Elizabeth, although I would have to pass on the oysters. I've never been able to eat them.
ReplyDeleteI love how you created this fabulous page with all those small interesting pictures. I think I may be buying fish next time I go shopping after seeing this page.

Nice page, Elizabeth! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, Elizabeth. Though I prefer them swimming to on a platter. Heh.
ReplyDeleteHave a great one.
Good evening, do to where we live so rural unless I need basic groceries and fresh foods-I started buying lots online-I can compare shop and I look for free shipping-there is nothing closer than 90 minutes drive one way for craft things etc. I found Amazon is not always the cheapest but I do buy allot from them too-I compare them with ebay and wal mart online.
ReplyDeleteIt is much nicer to hold things in your hands though.
after feeling her eco dye papers-that feel like soft thick cloth-i Knew I just have to try this-you can buy the sheets too but that takes the adventure out of it ha ha
Great page, Elizabeth! Oh, I love seafood! Your upside-down photo seems perfect to me! The pink-blue background and the whole layout of your page is adorable! Kisses, my friend!
ReplyDeletebeautiful page,dear elizhabeth,i love seafood too,hhhm yummy :-)
ReplyDeletehappy sunny weekend,dear.
greetings jenny
Such a wonderful seaside page! It's such a happy sunshiny page and I love all the images that you used. I have bought home some of the Old Bay Seasoning when we have travelled to America and liked the empty tin so much that it's adorning one of the shelves in my craft room ...lol 😀. Happy Friday and have a great weekend too! J 😊 x

ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth. You have just shown that to make art you can be inspired by anything Your seafood page is fun and I think Bleubeard and Squiggles might like it too?

Some years ago in Italy I ordered seafood - the plate came and I was happy not to see exactly WHAT I was eaten :) It smells good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun page!! Love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not allergic to seafood 'cause I really love the stuff! having a whole lobster some day is definitely on my 'To Do' list. ;) Fun page, great combination of colors and images!
