Today I'm sharing another journal page in my large art journal. I am joining Yvonne from Meggy's Way at Art Journal Journey with her theme A World of Fantasy.
I found these images in a book I purchased two years ago at the Art Museum. The story was a bit wimpy, so I made up one of my own to go with the images.
"In the fabled Land of Amphibians lived King Long Shanks."
"Enter two unscrupulous tailors who convinced the king
they could create a suit of invisibility that will only be seen
by those who are loyal to him."
"King Long Shanks vanity took over and he allowed the tailors to create the suit."
"Even though everyone in the court watched, no one said a word for fear of being accused of being disloyal."
Tomorrow we will learn the fate of the King as he dresses in his new clothes. This page began with green patterned scrapbook paper. I added the images and plastic scissors, which is actually a button. Then I printed and glued the words in place after I outlined them using a green gel pen.My sidekick Bleubeard and I are delighted you chose to join us today and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.

What a fun page! I am looking forward to reading the rest of the story! Have a great day, Valerie
Fabulous page, love the little story attached. I also thank you so much for your inspiring words on my mixed media. I love to play and it's has been my favourite kind of art for a long time. I actually have taught mixed media classes until the lady couldn't pay me....or wouldn't ....x
Oh Elizabeth I am smiling as I read the post and looked at this fabulous page, its a great start to my day. You chose a super background for the pictures you used.
I love the story and you have me anticipating the next part. I wonder what the new clothes will look like already. These kind of stories take me back to childhood when we believed almost everything, there was a certain magic and mystery in them.
Have a super day

Love the page. The illustrations are great and go so well with the Hans Christian Anderson tale.

Love this Art journal page Elizabeth, love the story with the second part!! You ´re great ! Very nice evening, big hugss, Caty
This is so cute and clever, Elizabeth. I'm sure your twist on the Hans Christian Andersen tale is better than the original museum book story.
