Happy Easter

 

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate/observe it.  Happy Passover to those who celebrate it.  Happy Sunday to those who don't.  I'm once again joining Alison, aka Craftytrog, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Today I have a song for her Play it again, Sam theme.

Bleubeard and I are celebrating Easter with a song. A very famous Easter song.  It was written by Irving Berlin and published in 1933.  It has been performed on Broadway and in films.  In 1948, it was performed in the musical film Easter Parade, which was built around the song.  Judy Garland and Fred Astaire performed it in the Easter Parade film, which made it even more popular. 

 

If the focal image looks familiar, it's because I deconstructed one of my 365 Somethings from 2018.
 

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,

You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.

I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,

I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade.

I sewed the deconstructed image to left over vintage sheet music.

On the avenue, fifth avenue, the photographers will snap us,

And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter parade.

I started by misting a used file folder with my handmade shimmering mists.  When dry, I computer generated the words on the reverse of a sheet of card stock that had originally printed incorrectly.   I sewed the focal image, a partial sheet of vintage sheet music, and the words to the file folder substrate using red variegated thread.  

For Day 17 of 22, I spritzed a used file folder with handmade shimmering mists, added a deconstructed image from my 365 Something project, added a partial sheet of vintage sheet music, and printed words on the back of a sheet of used cardstock. The spray mists were already created, and the variegated thread was new.

Thank you beyond belief for taking time to visit on this holiday.  Thanks, too, for your support of my recycling projects.  I hope you will also join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey with your own Play it again, Sam journal art. 

 

To end this with a bit of "holiness,"

 

while doing an internet search for a cartoon character, this popped up.  Of course, I had to share!
