I'll get you my pretty

 

It's time once again to join Chris of Pearshapedcrafting, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  She has chosen All Kinds of Weather as her theme.

Today we've been caught in a tornado.

Unfortunately so has the Wicked Witch of the West.  She has a cat on her broomstick because her beloved flying (winged) monkeys are out searching for the Wicked Witch of the East.

It looks like she has been flattened by Dorothy's house.  But where are her ruby slippers?

The tornado caused all this damage,

but in all the confusion, and before the Wicked Witch of the West can claim them, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North has already slipped the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet.  The Munchkins are so happy that they are no longer under the control of this evil witch of the East.

Unbeknown to Dorothy, she has made an instant enemy with the Wicked Witch of the West, who vows to hunt her and Toto down to get the ruby slippers back.  Glinda tells Dorothy to never take them off, as the slippers must be very powerful or the Wicked Witch would not want them so badly.

I started this page, by cutting the tornado to a smaller size in order to place it on 110 lb cardstock.  I sewed the tornado to the cardstock using blue variegated thread.  I used two blue gel pens for the witch's outfit, one of which was a glitter pen that doesn't glitter in the photos.  I also used gel pens on her broom and the hat.  Since she was green in the Wizard of Oz movie, I gave her a green face and hands.  I then fussy cut her and added her to the page.  I tried to draw some ruby slippers, but they didn't look anything like slippers, but more like blobs of red.  I gave up on the "realism," and drew some witch's boots instead.  I colored and fussy cut the house and cut a word bubble that matched what The Wicked Witch of the West yelled at Dorothy as she left Munchkinland without the ruby slippers.

Bleubeard and I would like to thank you for dropping by today.  We also hope you never get caught in a tornado.  We further hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own journal interpretation of All Kinds of Weather.

This is Day 15 of AEDM and I created a journal page for Art Journal Journey.  We are now half way through this month and I am simply thrilled to see every day what others have created at AEDM, too.
