Time was

I thought I would share another Art Journal Journey entry today using Jo's theme which is Texture. 

I named this Time Was!

I used an image I found in a book I bought two years ago at the Art Museum Book Sale, along with a left over clock from a previous challenge.

I'm loving finding the ransom type letters for the sentiment.  So much more fun for me, since I'm not much of a stamper and the disparate letters seem to add to the fun and texture of the page, too.

I tried to add lots of texture,

including this line of texture paste I used to underline the car and the ground it stood on.

Here's another close-up of background texture.

For this page I created in my Challenges altered book, I started with pale green wall paint to which I added bits of texture from several texture paints.  I knew I'd never be able to fussy cut all those images, so cut closely around the figures.  I added them to the page using a glue stick, but the glue didn't want to stick to the paint or texture I had created.  I fussy cut the clock left over from a previous project, and placed it slightly behind the focal image before I stuck the image down completely.  I then added the texture paste to the bottom of the page.  I found the individual letters in several magazines.  I cut them and outlined each with a blue felt pen.

Thanks so very much for visiting Bleubeard and me today.  We hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey with your own mixed media Texture art.
