Dream

 

I'm still having problems leaving comments on certain blogs.  Very stressful. 

Additionally, I have been gone all day.  I got home and was about to photograph my spread in my Stress Free altered book when my batteries died.  When I tried to change them, none I tried seemed to be charged.  I decided to scan the spread, which of course was too large for the scanner.

This is called Dream.  Some might think it's a nightmare.  It's actually today's entry for Art Journal Journey, which Bleubeard and I are hosting with the themes  Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both.  

 

I decided to show both sides of the spread with a few detail shots of each.

 

 

I thought the pattern left on the tea bag looked like a tea pot.

Everything on these two pages was recycled or left over from other projects with the exception of the flowers that were sent to me ages ago by my friend Erika.  The eggnog label came off the plastic jug with part of it leaving the top layer only.  I thought it looked like a transparency, which made it as special as the drink itself!  

 

I've become addicted to creating those wonky flowery leaves or whatever they are.  I can't seem to stop making them.  

 

I couldn't believe I found a new banana label (on the top right not seen in full view) I had not seen before.  All marks were made with a felt tip pen and the word Dream was written on a scrap of black cardstock with a white gel pen.  The gold molding paste was left over from a previous project.  I was surprised it hadn't dried to the point it couldn't be used.  I used a stencil on red paper to spread it on the page.

Bleubeard and I are really happy you visited today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both. We hope you understand about our inability to leave comments on certain blogs.
