Bleubeard and I are back with another entry for our recycle, reuse, repurpose theme we are hosting this month at Art Journal Journey. We are also joining Nicole and her Friday Face Off. I'm late this week due to my Second Thursday tutorial.
Bleubeard and I named this The Little Rebel. We have a few detail shots, too.
This started with half a sheet of left over 110 lb. cardstock that had been spritzed with my handmade shimmering mists. As much as I hate my handwriting, I used it to write the sentiment/prayer and the title of the page. The little girl was fussy cut from an ad campaign card I received last August when we in Kansas were inundated with leaflets, postcards, and posters touting both sides of the abortion issue I'm sure many of you remember. I thought the little girl had a definite religious feel, which is why I paired it with the prayer many of us were taught as youngsters.Bleubeard and I are genuinely appreciative you stopped by today. We also hope to see you at both Art Journal Journey and Friday Face Off.
This is a fun piece, Elizabeth, and I love her expression! I know that prayer, too. Happy Friday! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSmiling - and the little rebel doesn't look even remotely tired to me...
ReplyDeletesweet rebel
ReplyDeleteThat haircut looks like what we call "by mama" or "pot on the head and cut around", LOL - I would pray just like that (Ingo cuts my hair).
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she's got something on her mind. And maybe not something good-smile. But she is a cutie and this is a cute page for your challenge. And I can see the shimmer in your mist. Nice. Have a great FRiday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable.
ReplyDeleteIn a museum this week I saw a collection of art made from rejected and trashed objects that reminded me of your mission to create art from recycling. Picasso did it too!

Ha ha....I may have been a little rebel too. I always wondered why we needed to close our eyes to pray. If God was going to appear, I wanted to SEE.
ReplyDelete...The Little Rebel is giving the eye.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt`s a funny collage! I love this.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteYou have such fun! I love it.
ReplyDeleteOhh Elizabeth, this is such a beautiful piece. It brings back memories too. As a kid and my 5 siblings had to say this prayer every night. My sister and I would do exactly what this little girl is doing. Keeping one eye closed and then looking at each other with one eye open. We thought we were so clever. LOL Thank you for the memory and for joining FFO. Have a lovely day.
