How she got here

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.  And because this entire journal entry is made from scraps, some taken from my neighbor's trash, I'm joining Moo-Mania and More's challenge this fortnight which is Use your scraps. 

This is the story of the young female mathematician who was surrounded by many males who were in the same kindergarten class.

They had to first learn to count their numbers

and write them legibly

before they could move on to 

differential equations, or diff-e-que as we called it in school.

I started this journal entry with a recycled file folder.  I added a page from an old calculus workbook.  I found these handout sheets of "children" in my neighbor's trash.  I dug them out when I got the idea to create this journal entry.  I cut three of the images from the worksheet to use in my art.  Once I began assembling the page, the story came to life.  Almost like art imitating my own life, although like most females, I didn't start out liking numbers like the girl in the story did.  The sentiment was written using a blue Deco Arts pen on scraps of lavender paper.

Bleubeard and I are thrilled that you stopped by today.  Your visits mean the world to us.  We hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey as well as Moo-Mania and More.
