My little book of fishes

 

I'm once again joining Mia from Craftartista, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is Fish.  This will be my penultimate entry for Art Journal Journey.

 Call me crazy, but I created another teeny tiny art journal.

I'm actually blaming it on my friend Chris who sent me the tiny stencils I used on both the front and back covers.

I thought they went well together.

This two page spread reads "I'd rather be."  The words were colored using two watercolors.

This spread reads "under the sea."  I fussy cut all the fish and semi-cut the sea horses, except for the first one I laid down which is how they all started out originally.

This spread reads "with the fishes."  Put together, it is "I'd rather be under the sea with the fishes."

And of course, this leads to the back cover.  To decorate the covers, I mixed molding/modeling paste with gold fluid acrylic.  I then spread the mixture through a stencil using a faux credit card.  

 

I didn't back the squares like I did before.  These are single squares that are colored on one side and white on the other.  The squares are all cardstock weight.

 

Bleubeard and I are thrilled you stopped by today.  You still have a couple of days before we announce a new host, so we hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Fish.
