Funky Flowers

Many of you are probably aware that Alison/Craftytrog is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is Geometric Shapes and she has asked us to make any art we like as long as it includes something geometric.

Today I have created a pot of Funky Flowers, which is also the name of my journal page.

I purposely cut these circles funky, although I considered cutting them in more precise circles.

Each flower had either three or five colored circles.   

Each flower is attached with long rectangular slivers for stems.

The flowers were stuck inside a flower pot that was shaped like an isosceles polygon with a rectangular "edge."  

The vintage sheet music pot was wrapped with triangles that simulated mosaic tiles for decoration.

The flower pot sits on a rectangular bed of mulberry paper "grass."

The substrate was 110 lb cardstock, which, when colored, buckled.  The sky was made using water soluble crayons and the bottom was created using my new wall stencil.  I used walnut ink on a dabber to color the wall, which also contains rectangles.  The flowers were colored using bingo dabbers, then cut to size.  Two contained bits of gessoed and colored words from a novel.

I think this is my favorite entry this month, and I hope you like it.  Thanks for visiting. I'm so grateful for your support and kind remarks.  I hope to see you at Art Journal Journey, too.  Bleubeard and I would love to have you join us.

BTW, please click to give Kibble to cats and dogs today, (found on my right sidebar), especially if you don't every time you visit.  Today  they are giving 10 times the normal amount of kibble to both cats and dogs of furloughed Federal employees who are struggling to feed their animals as much as they are their human family members.
