I'm once again joining Alison, aka Craftytrog, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, with a song for her Play it again, Sam theme.
Today I'm bringing a song from the Eurythmics, a new wave dance pop duo who were famous throughout the 1980s. The fussy cut umbrellas and the post title should have told you the song is called Here Comes the Rain Again. I've included a few detail shots.
Elizabeth Varadan left a comment the other day that we weren't supposed to write more than three words to a song unless we paid royalty. I had always heard if I made the art for my own personal use, and not to be sold, it would be OK.
However, I decided to go ahead and print it out, but cover over some of the words with the umbrellas. I miss my fussy cut scissors. The ones I used don't fussy cut well at all.
I'm actually still in recycle mode. The words were printed on a used file folder and the umbrellas started life as wallpaper samples.
Thanks
ever so much for joining Bleubeard and me today. Bleubeard and I are so
happy with the lovely comments you left regarding 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.

Good morning Elizabeth! I love your umbrella page and I remember that son well, it's playing in my mind as I write this. Have a great day, take care, and please could you link me o TsfT this evening? Hugs, Valerie
Clever - and beautiful. Colour me awed. Again.
You did a great job cutting out those umbrellas I thought they were printed on the page until I looked closely at a few of your photos. And its a great song too, and you illustrated it well. This another fun page for Alison's challenge. You've made some beauties this month. Hope your week starts off well and I'll see you for T this evening. Hugs-Erika
Artwork, poems, songs, etc. use for your own work is a bit of a grey area. It's still a copyright violation to use work without permission. A bit of leeway is given if works are used in teaching. There are lots of songs, poems, and artwork that are in the public domain which can be used without violating copyright.
Those cheery umbrellas take the grey out of a rainy day.
Lovely inspired page
Good mornng, another beautiful page for the theme loving those umbrellas
Love the song! AND the umbrellas!! The end result was totally worth the effort to fussy cut them ! Copyright infringement? I can't keep it straight and half of it is a little ridiculous to me anyway.. But better safe than sorry.. Hugs! deb
