Twins


If you live in the U.S., please don't forget to set your clock forward.  Today I'm joining Jo from Let's Art Journal who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Hello Springtime.  I'm also joining Moo-Mania and More with their Close to Nature theme.

The sentiment reads:
The twins practiced their ballet routine in the warm spring meadow behind their parents house.
You're going to see a lot of these pictures with the "twins" because

I learned after I downloaded these photos that I should NOT have used the overhead light in the dining room.

Rather than enhancing the photos, it detracted and left a large "white" spot on the slick page I used as a background.

The "twin" furthest away was the one who

suffered the worst.

The "twin" in the foreground was nearly perfectly photographed.

Disregarding my poor photographic skills, the thing I loved about this was the TH paper dolls come in three sizes, so can be perfectly positioned and still keep the much needed scale and perspective.   The sentiment, from my own thoughts, was computer generated, then colored using water soluble crayons. 

I'm thrilled you decided to visit today.  Please also join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey and Moo-Mania and More, too.

Oh just look at those Twins dancing happily through the field of crocus(?) What a joyous page Elizabeth i'm so happy to have seen this this morning.
Yes artificial light can distort or work so much but I think you have captured the moment beautifully. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these happy little pages.
Sorry i've not been around but thought i'd pop in and say Hello before another day disappears. Hoping to get a little creative play time next week (fingers crossed).
Sunday Hugs Tracey xx

What a cheery page with those lovely twins dancing in the the field of flowers! What a clever use of the TH paper dolls Elizabeth! In my mind you have managed it very, very well to take the photos in electric light. I am never able to do this - I always have to use daylight for taking photos of my pages otherwise I get worthless junk photos.
A fantastic entry and I appreciate to see it not just linked to Art Journal Journey but also to Moo Mania & More dear Elizabeth! Thank you !
Have a great Sunday - here just rain and grey heaven and heavy storms are forecasted for the next days.

Big hugs, Susi

This is a really happy page, nothing could be better than dancing in this beautiful meadow. It looks fantastic and the image sizes draw you into the scene.
I think you got good results taking the photos with the electric light on, I never get any joy and usually wait for a better daylight.
Have a good Sunday.

I think you created a great page. The twins look so joyful dancing in the warm sunshine as opposed to the snow in my yard. Perhaps the twin on the right is overshadowed by her sister.

Absolutely love this page... great use of the dancing dolls to create perspective, and it looks like a wonderful place to do your practice amidst all those gorgeous springtime blooms.

Lovely ballerinas in a spring field :)
In Australia the clock goes back 1 hour on the first Sunday of April (but Western Australia is one of the 3 states with no daylight saving).
Have a nice Sunday Elizabeth.

Aren't the twins cute! I love how they are dancing in the Spring meadow, so beautifully designed with the wording too - perfect 😁. Thanks so much for sharing your springtime happiness with us at Art Journal Journey! Happy weekend! J 😊 x

Dancing in the spring I would name this image. Wonderful spring collage dear Elizabeth.
I am longing for such a nice field of flowers. Today we have storm and rain and dark clouds.
I think we must have patience a while until spring will come. Let us fill our world with fresh colors on paper and canvas to stand the time till spring opening.
Have a nice and creative March.
Hugs
Sabine

What a great page, Elizabeth. Beautiful and happy twins dancing in a spring landscape! Lovely! In Greece, we turn the clocks forward in the end of March. Kisses, my friend.

Sandra said...

So beautiful!
Hope you are well.

Divers and Sundry said...

So cool! Dancing in the flowers :)

Cindy McMath said...

Wonderful page Elizabeth! I love how the twins are two different sizes too! What a great idea you had to use them both on the same page and use the sizes to add perspectives. Every time I see your TH paper dolls I’m tempted to go get some - until I think of all the ARTchix images I still have. :) And thank you for noticing my lion’s foot placement. Not everyone would notice that!

The twins look very happy to be dancing outside in the meadow on such a beautiful day. A great page Elizabeth and I love the perspective your created.

what an enchanting page! I love it to pieces!

I adore daylight saving time. It's the best! FINALLY -- more light at nighT!

I love this page, Elizabeth! It reminds me of practicing ballet with my younger sister. All over the house, in the yard, anywhere we could. Eileen xx
