Second on the 2nd

 

As most of you know, whenever possible, I like my Second Look to somehow reflect what our current host at Art Journal Journey is featuring.  That means I had to look for something that reflected a place in the world, which Chris from Pearshapedcrafting, our host this month has chosen.

The following is from a journal spread I created for Art Journal Journey in the past.  I am sharing only the relevant information so as not to confuse you with another host or theme.   This is from January, 2021, quite recent considering my blog goes back over 17 years.  I called it simply Paris.

        One of my favorite wishes would be visiting Paris.

For the most part, 

this is vintage Paris.

 

I was intrigued by the vintage clothing, too.

 

Of course, any image of the Eiffel Tower makes me happy.

For this two page spread in my new watercolor journal, I laid down copper paint on the left side, then added vintage images of French women.  For the right side, I used a finger dauber dipped in copper paint to create a background, then added two vintage images of France, a French woman, and a current image of the Eiffel Tower.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your Second on the 2nd. The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.
