Bruno and Me

I had a different post planned for today, but actually was able to finally create a journal entry for Art Journal Journey. Mia, who many know as Craftartista is our host this month. Her theme is Use a photo.

Bruno is helping me with my paint choices.

I want Bruno's input, so asked "What color do you like best, Bruno?"

This decision may be harder than I expected.

I started this page by spritzing two of my handmade shimmering mists onto 110 lb cardstock. I combined a strip of wallpaper sample with an image I found in a magazine. I then computer generated the sentiment and outlined both the sentiment and the focal image using black dye ink.

Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Use a photo.

Iris Flavia said... 2: One of our Spanish boss´ name is Bruno, now I have a picture of him ;-)
You make it difficult for me to not giggle when talking to him. Or asking him about colors...; 6:20 AM, January 21, 2023
Mia said... 3: Really glad to see you in a photo, Elizabeth. Great page, my friend, and certainly a beautiful entry for my theme in AJJ. Kisses!; 6:42 AM, January 21, 2023
Jeanie said... 4: This is delightful. Especially since aren't dogs color blind?! No help from Bruno!; 7:18 AM, January 21, 2023
CJ Kennedy said... 5: It's always good to get another opinion about decor colors. I'd chose the blue one. Though, I like the green one, too.; 7:59 AM, January 21, 2023
My name is Erika. said... 6: I wonder what color Bruno will pick. If it was Maddie she wouldn't pick any because she definitely likes pink. (If I put out a few "things" like toys, she always picks up the pink one.) I'm not sure about Pete's choice. This is a fun page for AJJ. I like how it all comes together. And it is a fun photo. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika; 8:00 AM, January 21, 2023
