Make New Friends

 

 Today I am joining Valerie, who is hosting Art Journal Journey this month with her Heavy Metal theme.

I'm working in my new watercolor paper altered art journal.  I'm focusing on silver and gold today.

I'm using the old adage: Make new friends, but keep the old.

 

One is silver, the other gold.

I'd love to make friends with this lovely vintage lady.

The focal image began as part of an old cardboard box that originally held a lady's hat.  It was quite old and deteriorating, so I cut the image into an oval so it would fit on the page in my large watercolor paper journal.  When I adhered the image to the page using a strong glue stick, it was a bit off center.  When I moved it, part of the back didn't come off the page.  I didn't dare try to adjust it a third time.  I computer generated the sentiment, then used a silver Krylon pen to add silver and a brush to add gold fluid acrylic to the words.

 

Thanks so incredibly much for visiting today.   I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
