Sunflowers

I'm once again joining Eileen whose blog is The Artful Crafter.  She is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her Green (the color) theme. This will be my final Art Journal Journey entry for March.

This spread is all about sunflowers.

Sunflowers are the state flower of Kansas, so they hold a special place in my heart.

In fact, 

"Sunflowers brighten

my

day."

I seem to be in recycle mode, preparing for my 22 days of art I and a few of my friends will be making, beginning on Wednesday.  I invite you to share this journey with me, too, as I recycle, reuse, repurpose, re-design, rethink, re-invent, recover, reclaim, and reduce what goes in our landfills.  Of course, this all leads up to what others call Earth Day, but I call bEARTHday.

I began this spread with a sheet of 110 lb card stock as my substrate.  Over that, I glued a portion of a lovely green and beige paper bag I got when I purchased something large from a store one year.  The words were hand written in metallic gel pen cut from the back of the same paper bag.  The words were outlined in a green felt tip pen.  The sunflowers were part of a larger sheet of wrapping paper from a gift I received last year.  I outlined a few of the leaves to show a bit more green.

I am extremely grateful that you stopped by today. There's still a full day left, so Bleubeard and I hope you will also join us at Art Journal Journey with your own art inspired by the color Green.

And because it will be the only time I can document it, here is my completed March, 2020 calendar pages.

As I've mentioned in the past, my scanner is on its last leg.  This is the left side 

and this is the right.  I feel like I spent more time this month fighting with AT&T, my internet provider, than I have anything else.  Thanks for being so supportive of this calendar.  I have several friends whose calendars put this one to shame.
