Today I am back with an Art Journal Journey spread honoring Yvonne from Meggy's Way's theme which is A World of Fantasy.
I call this one The Children's Garden.
Here are a few closeups.
For this entry, I started with a napkin I fused to freezer paper awhile back. I sewed the napkin assembly to a sheet of 110 lb card stock which was shorter than the napkin. Because I used freezer paper, the napkin lost its transparency. That's when I decided to add the TH children and dog dolls. I positioned them on the fantasy flowers using pop dots. Then I wrote the title using a white gel pen.Because both Susi and Yvonne asked, I am also adding this entry to Try it on Tuesday with their Childhood theme.
Thank you for visiting. The incredibly loyal Bleubeard and I are delighted you chose to spend some time here today and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey AND Try it on Tuesday.
Love it! Great napkin.

Wow - the perfect use of this beautiful napkin and I LOVE how you arranged the children and dog on it! And the special great touch is the sewing! What a fantastic make dear Dr.E.!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely link this wowser to Try It On Tuesday "Childhood" as well! Would be great my friend!
A simply gorgeous entry for AJJ - World of Fantasy!
Superb!
Happy day, answered your emal already!
Hugs, Susi
I think you made a really smart move putting this napkin on freezer paper. It makes it look like a chalkboard, and those white flowers look like chalk. That makes a really cool page. And clever. Although I think most schools have whiteboards now, for some reason I think chalk board and kids. Nice work my friend! Happy Thursday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI Love this page, it is a fabulous napkin background, I thought you had painted it when I first looked. The sewing is a super way to frame the page, the TH children and dog are fantastic additions. They look comfortable and happy to be in their garden
ReplyDeleteI hope you will add this to TioT' s as well Elizabeth it is a wonderful page for both the themes.

You really come up with some brilliant ideas with the use of paper, and it's so amazing! Freezer Paper? Yay! I Love it all! Hugs..RO
ReplyDeleteFun fantasy page. I love the kids sitting on top of the flowers. Makes me think of the animals on a spring you sometimes see at play parks.
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of the napkin and a perfect fit for the challenge. I really like this one.
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white images of the young children. Great pages Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous page, Elizabeth. And a lovely theme. Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI especially love how you reached beyond the edge of the piece, but I love the way you arranged the elements here. You chose the perfect title too :)

So appealing! It fits the theme perfectly, and there is so much to look at. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love how you interpreted this in black and white instead of going all out with color. With the b/w, much as with photography, you see details I think would get lost in a mass of yellows and blues. The children stand out so well. It has a wonderful feeling, very sweet but not cloying, magical but not twee. This is really lovely -- all the elements work so well together.
ReplyDeleteIf I had got here earlier I would have suggested it for TIOT too! Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind day and today hasn't been much better!!! However I love this so much (having caught a glimpse in my sidebar) and I thank you so much for linking to TIOT! It really is a striking page! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, this is fabulous, Elizabeth! Do all children dream of being in a huge flower garden like this? One of my favorite childhood Golden books was Thumbelina. Your little girl reminds me of her - the way the flower above sort of makes her cap.
ReplyDeleteWooowww I adore this Art journal page Elizabeth !! It ´s really GORGEOUS !! love this childrens garden, love this napkin, and the dog is so cute !! Great !
ReplyDeleteVery nice new week ! big hugs, Caty
Wow, your page is amazing! I love your Children Garden, it looks so wonderful with the napkin background, stitching and the paper dolls - beautiful 😁. Thanks so much for joining us at Try it on Tuesday with your fabulous page! Wishing you a lovely week! J 😊 x
