2 Sisters

Since I have a few hours between Monday Murals and T Time, I thought I would share another Art Journal Journey entry using Yvonne, aka Meggymay's theme which is Words and Numbers.  This will be my final January Art Journal Journey post, since T Tuesday will take us through the end of the year.

I'm afraid I wasn't very good at the title of the piece, but it was the only title that came to me.  Obviously, I call it 2 Sisters. 

I've done a lot more coloring and stenciling this month than I normally would.


I love the little sister with her high top shoes, her basket, her doll, and her shawl.  She has laid her umbrella down because she doesn't need it inside.

Big sister is showing her how to use the scales.

She's wearing a blue dress that compliments her yellow hair.

They are obviously having fun.

Big sister's high top shoes are out of the way of the spilled veggies on the floor. 

These are two very happy sisters.

For this page, I ran a sheet of 110 lb card stock through my laser printer to create the images of the little girls.  Once printed, I set out to color as many parts of the page as I felt I could.  I have limited colors in my set of water soluble crayons, and the baskets and shoes were already brown, so adding brown to the chair and the bench would have, in my opinion, taken away from the effect meant for the two girls, who were the stars of the page.

Bleubeard and I are thrilled that you stopped by today.  We hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey, too.  You still have a day to join us before we welcome a new host and a new challenge theme.
