The midnight sky

Today we are welcoming a new host to Art Journal Journey.  Please welcome Erika, aka Bio Art Gal, our host the entire month with her themes In the air/In the sky.  Today I've chosen In the sky.

As many of you know, I can't draw for anything.  Even when I try, I get it wrong.  This entry is a perfect example.

I call this "The midnight sky."

I used two water soluble crayons to color the words.

I masked off the moon using the last of the plastic circles that didn't get turned into a Chihuly entry, but unfortunately, I didn't get it back in the same spot it was in when I sprayed my handmade shimmering mists.  It was not completely circular, so that was part of the problem.

For the forest, I painted two of my handmade shimmering mists along the bottom of the page.

For this page, I began with 110 lb. card stock.  I masked off the bottom third of the page, as well as the moon, then spritzed my handmade shimmering mist on the top two-thirds of the page.  Unfortunately, I created a hard line on the right side of the page and no amount of painting on the green mists changed that.  I then used the same turquoise to outline the moon, then decided to outline it completely using a Zig ink pen.  Sadly, that was not my finest hour, but I had already worked so long on it, I couldn't throw it away.  Finally, I added computer generated text using a favorite font called Script.

Thanks for joining Bleubeard and me today.  I hope you will join Erika, Susi, Bleubeard, and me this month at Art Journal Journey with your own art inspired by In the air/In the sky, too.  Please be aware, we want to see your altered book pages, journal pages, loose journal art, canvases, fabric pages, and digital art.  However, we cannot accept cards, ATCs, ATCoins, or tags, and will be forced to delete your entry.
