I'm once again joining Erika aka BioArtGal who is hosting Art Journal Journey this month with her theme Vintage or Modern.
I call this one Inspired by Audubon.
"Inspired by
Audubon."
For this piece, I began by adhering a sheet of handmade paper (HMP) to a sheet of 110 lb cardstock. The HMP was a reject because I had added rose petals to the paper pulp and the roses bled into the wet pulp as it dried. I printed three vintage bird images for which I carefully fussy cut rounded edges. I added tea stains using a tea bag on each of the bird images. Finally, against my better judgement, I hand printed the sentiment using a metallic gel pen.Bleubeard and I are so happy you chose to join us today and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
For Day 10 of Art Every Day Month (AEDM), I created a journal page.
I want to reiterate, if you are on Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, or G +, I will visit, but I cannot leave a comment since I'm not a member of any of those platforms.
audubon really drew such great bird images - a good choice for your ajj and AEDM:)

Wonderful. The tea staining give the bird images a very vintage look as does the use of your hand-lettering. Nicely done.

What a great idea! I'm fortunate to have an Audubon preserve near me, although I usually only get woodland photos there, and no birds (go figure), even though I hear the birds chirping whenever I'm there. I love the Audubon prints.
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed by your handmade paper. It's really a highlight for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Elizabeth! I love the vintage look:)
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is creative and pleasant.
Beautiful! I love the Audubon prints. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely images and make a lovely page. Great when the ‘rejects’ find a good home. :). Beautiful paper.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful drawings, I did not know Audubon (now I have to look at google). Your hand made paper give a magical background for these pictures and I like your metallic handlettering!
