Today Bleubeard and I are back at Art Journal Journey. We are hosting this month with our Recycling theme. We look forward to seeing what you recycle, repurpose, or reuse.
I call this Paired because it's a play on words. I have a few detail shots to share.
I started with a sheet of heavy scrapbook paper that had been given to me. Several years ago I spent an entire day making shaving cream paper. This is some of the last. Luckily, it matched the first layer. I added the focal image which I cut from junk mail. I computer generated the word and adhered it to a piece of leftover paint chip sample. Since I had another small piece of the paint chip sample left over, I cut it square, then turned it into two photo corners. Bleubeard and I are delighted you dropped by today and hope to see what you have recycled, repurposed, or reused using our theme at Art Journal Journey.
That is simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the game! :-)
ReplyDeleteBut I won´t go and try to buy some.
People run mad here - we won´t be able to buy anything come Monday!!!! PANIC-mode!
Ingo went extra-early and the shop was nearly empty already.
Or not stocked yet? People are dumb here..
Hope you have all you need for a Happy Easter :-)
(are your shops closed, too?)
Love the colors!!! Love the concept of your page too. Wonderful and pretty! Hugz
ReplyDeleteThat's such a calming photo. And I really like the play on words. Plus i like how you chose the dark plum color to layer, with just a splash (literally) of green on the book page. It's a really lovely piece. And you asked if my bees made it through the winter. No, I lost them by New Years. I still haven't autopsied the hive to see why, but my guess is that this sub-species just doesn't do well in the cold. This year I am trying 2 types of bees- the same sub-species I had and a new hybrid from Canada that is not only more tolerant but more disease resistant too. Hopefully I'll get them all through the winter, but time will tell. Have a great Easter and weekend. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteShaving cream paper brings back memories, I remember doing that years ago. Lovely collage.
ReplyDeleteIt's been an age since I last created using shaving foam, loving the colours you used. A grand play on words, I agree with Erika its a calming page.
