Out of Africa

If you have arrived from Try it on Tuesday, and are looking for the tutorial on powders, you will find that post here.

In case you didn't know, this month our host at Art Journal Journey is Rike of Rike's Art.  Rike wants us to use yellow in our art.

I call this Out of Africa. 


All images come from specific places in Africa you would see if you travel there.

I should never have used a gel pen the same color as the grass background.

Beautiful, stark, and often arid, this land holds a beauty unlike any other.

For this page, I began by using the back side of my We are Family spread.  I have no more black card stock, so used construction paper, which is not light fast, and not acid free.  I used three images from two freebie travel magazines and yellow and gold metallic gel pens.

Thank you so much for your visit today.  I am always grateful when you stop by.  I also hope you will join us this month at Art Journal Journey with your yellow inspired art.  I am slowly trying to catch up with those of you who have created yellow art at AJJ, but I overdid it a bit yesterday, so it is going slower than I anticipated.
