Today I'm joining Rike at Rike's Art our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Rike's theme is Fruit and Veggies.
I used a bit of play on words. 
When I saw that image of a banana, I absolutely had to call this spread Banana Split.
Here are a few detail shots.
For this page, I found an image on the internet and printed it on 110 lb. card stock from my laser printer. I then cut it down to 8 inch (20,32 centimeter) square. Since I only have black toner, I colored it using several water soluble crayons. Sadly, I did this late at night and the poor lighting, along with my color choices made staying in the lines a bit difficult. Finally, I added the gold glitter washi tape to the top and bottom areas of the page.Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope to also see you at AEDM and Art Journal Journey.
This is Day 7 of AEDM hosted by Leah Piken Kolidas, and I
created an art journal page for Art Journal Journey.
Love your clever idea of banana split! Yummie and vegan without icecream and cream...
ReplyDeleteI will think of you when I eat my bananas today. If there are no bananas at home I am unhappy.The more bananas I eat the happier I get.
Big AJJ hugs!

Oh, childhood memories, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteRoller Skates / Skateboard, dangerous moves and.... Banana-Split, beautiful, fun summer days.
Certainly with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
And, wee... there is a banana in the kitchen - but it´s for Ingo to take to work tomorrow...
Lovely and fun page Elizabeth! No bananas here for breakfast, just coffee! Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHee hee Elizabeth a clever take on that Banana. One of my 5 a day i'll have that picture in my head each time I eat one. Time for breakfast.. Enjoy yours. Hugs Tracey x
ReplyDeleteHaha, Elisabeth - a great way to start the day - with a smile!
ReplyDeleteNice image.

Fantastic! I love this idea Elizabeth! Reminds me of when a banana split was our family's favourite dessert. Lashings of chocolate sauce of course!

You are the queen of wordplay Elizabeth. I love it! nice entry for Rike's fun challenge. And my town didn't have elections this week. We re a really small town (about 2500) people and our big election is next year. However, the city I work in did have elections and I am glad to be retiring since the new city council and school board are not the most school loving group. Happy Thursday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI think we are both playing with words today Elizabeth! I love this image, although sadly I don't eat many bananas these days! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI love the pun. 😺 But it needs some ice cream and chocolate sauce. And nuts, too. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLove this clever page Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteBanana Split - very clever, Elizabeth. I thought you cut the full color banana out of a magazine. I think your coloring is excellent! Eileen xx
ReplyDeleteA pun! Priceless :)

I like the play on words Elizabeth. Lovely artwork. But I'll take mine with ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what "flavor" of Linux do you use? Ubuntu, openSUSE, other? I'm trying to figure out which one to try in a Virtual Box. I know you use GIMP, and I'll want to do the same, so I want a "GIMP friendly" Linux. :-) (Microsoft Bloatware Windows 10 continues to run slow as molasses.)
I really like the way you color over b&w printed images. Very clever idea.
ReplyDeleteAs I read this I am eating my banana...great fruity post.
ReplyDeletere Monte. He was on the surfboard with a stranger and I just happened to capture the photo in time.x
Clever and cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, your Banana Split made my day! A great idea for the title - and I like the gold glitter washi tape you added! The yellow color on the Bananas is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWish you a happy day! Rike

Now that the business end is taken care of, may I please resume chuckling? Banana Split...yes, I'd have definitely named it that LOLOLOLOL
Good one! Reminds me of my teenager days working at Day---Reeeee---Queeeeen!!! They do have the best banana splits...
I sometimes print out a color image in black and white on purpose. I like the way my alcohol markers make it look tinted when I color it. Just a different kind of look.
Happy Weekend! xoxo, Aimeslee
the motive is great!A fabulous page!!!!!
ReplyDeletenice sunday greeting
