At the Christmas Market

 

This is my penultimate post for Chris's theme, All Kinds of Weather, at Art Journal Journey.  

Although it's really cold, there is no snow to dampen the spirits

 

of these people visiting the Christmas Market.  Chris suggested looking ahead to the holidays, so that was what inspired this page in my altered book.  And since this reminds me of a Winter Wonderland, I'm also sharing it with the lovely ladies at Try it on Tuesday.

Everyone looks so happy.  Even the deer, who have come out of the woods to join the celebration, look like they are enjoying the atmosphere.

I covered this sentiment I created with gold fluid acrylic that matches the gold in the background.  In case you can't read it, or need it translated:

Yuletide spirits abound from Brussels to Amsterdam.
From storybook villages and fairy tale towns, a feeling
of Christmas is present in every Christmas Market.

Experience the waffles, Belgian beers, chocolate lace,
and Gouda cheese while listening to carolers and
concerts in the plazas.

I was really frustrated with this borrowed camera, so in desperation, I scanned the image, so you can better see the beautiful background.  Then I realized the gold doesn't show in the background or in the sentiment.

For this page which I created in my Collage Too altered book, I covered an entire page with a sheet of wallpaper I cut to size.  I removed the Christmas Market from a travel magazine, then tore it to size.  I added two gifted die cut deer and the computer generated and colored sentiment.

Bleubeard and I would like to thank you for dropping by today.  We also hope to see you at Try it on Tuesday with your Winter Wonderland entry and at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of All Kinds of Weather.

 

This is Day 27 of AEDM where I created a page for Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday in my Collage Too altered book.
