Since I have a few hours between Monday Murals and T Time, I thought I would share this Art Journal Journey entry using Chris of Pear Shaped Crafting's theme Hold the Line.
I'm not sure which came first, the image of the chimp, or my finding the die cuts sent to me about a year ago by Krisha. Regardless, the two came together to make what I hope you will find to be a fun spread in my Scraps altered book.
"There was a crooked chimpwho had a crooked limp."
"He could not walk 
a straight line 
no matter what he tried." 
For the left page in my Scraps altered book, I used the wonky pieces from Krisha in conjunction with the computer generated words I colored using both water soluble crayons and water colors.The right page has the chimp image I found in a Mensa magazine. I added it and all images on the left side using glue stick.
I appreciate you stopping by today. Please also join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey.
what a great page!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun page Elizabeth, I love how chips hang about. Great idea, have a nice day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteFantastic page full of wonderful fun n colour. x
ReplyDeleteWow Elizabeth! This is a stunning spread! You combined so beautiful the left with the right page! Great watercolouring, my friend. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteFun elements on the pages, and it made me want to finish the story/poem:
ReplyDeletethere was a crooked chimp
who had a crooked limp
he could not walk a straight line
no matter what he tried
he cried and cried
and wiped his eyes
got off his buns
and realized he could run
A really fun page and take on the AJJ theme, although the limping chimp may not have seen the humour I hope he saw the funny side of the tale.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.

This is funny and I love the whimsical chimp and designs on the book page. I love the colours you used too. I want to make something using the crayons now.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like this! You are so cleaver and talented. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast between the curves and straight lines.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun page! You put all the elements together perfectly 😁. Thanks for the smiles and wishing you a happy new week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteAaaaawww poor chimp.
ReplyDeleteI'm admiring the way you printed the words and coloured them, another of your ideas to be inspired by (to steal).
Interesting choice of background text to use, not a modern book I think.
Love from Sheila

I love this fun page! xx
ReplyDeleteThis really is a fun page Elizabeth - really got me smiling! Thanks for linking to AJJ and my theme! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThose wonky bits are Dylusion stamps - I have lots of them stamped out so if you want more just shout. I must say they look good on here and I love the way they have been coloured in.
ReplyDeleteLove your chimp on the ladder - he goes perfectly with the opposite page - great fun!
Hugs, Neet xx
