Sand between my toes

 

 I have another page for Valerie, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is Anything Goes.  

 I named this Sand between my toes.  


I have a few detail shots to share.





Unfortunately, my new scanner doesn't seem to have as much depth as my previous scanner.  That's when I decided to photograph the page, which was an even worse disaster since the lighting was quite poor.





This page started with a polka dot background to which I added six images taken from various cruise magazines advertising the Caribbean.  I added dye ink around each image before gluing them to the page.  Finally, I added the feet that were actually paperclips.

Thanks for dropping by today to share a bit of time with Bleubeard and me.  We are eternally grateful.  We also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your Anything Goes journal entry.

Oh, wish I was there, it´s again so cold here!
Cute clips, too.
I have a cheap, portable daylight lamp, works pretty well. Anyway sad with the new scanner!
Ingo´s isn´t the best, either (but has as excuse it´s old) - I use Photostudio for better brightness and contrast as next step. One click, done. Old program but for free.

Good morning Elizabeth.Love your new page, so pretty, I think I have ice between my toes - well, it feels like that- warm sand would be better. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie

I had to laugh at your comment on my page about posting too early before it was finished, that has happened to me, too! Hugs!

This page is a sight for sore eyes. I woke up this morning to a foot of new snow, added to what was left(grumble). Those are the cutest little feet paperclips too. And seeing some flamingos on the beach would be fun also. I need to go out and shake the snow off the bird feeders for the birds, but I wish I had a plastic pink flamingo to stick out in the yard for fun. Smile. I hope you're having some spring weather and have a great Wednesday. hugs-Erika

We had a low last night of 29, so sand between my toes is definitely an attractive idea. I can feel that warmth just looking at your art :)

I love visiting flamingos, wherever they are, including Caribbean lagoons. Such funny-looking birds! But they fly impressively.

I would rather have the sand between my toes than snow. I love the paperclips.

Lovely page

Your page warmed me up. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and imagined I was on that lovely beach with the sand between my toes. Cannot wait for the better weather to arrive. I love Spring but preferably a little warmer than it is now. Guess it could still be classed as winter so maybe I am ahead of myself.
I hope you enjoyed making the page as much as I enjoyed viewing it.
Hugs to all

Those little barefoot clips are the perfect touch for a beachy scene like this!
