Stars

 

Before we begin, I want to thank Jo for hosting in November,  She gave us wonderful examples of nature and was a super host, visiting everyone at AJJ, which is far more than I can say for myself.

Today we welcome a new host as we always do each month to Art Journal Journey.  This month our guest host is the talented Wendy K from Wendy's Craft Journal.

Wendy's theme is Above us only sky.  I decided to focus on Stars.  I have detail shots, too.

Of course, the first time I remembered the date in many months, you can't tell it's Dec 1, 2023.

For this journal page, I started by cutting squares from a deconstructed book and alternated them on a sheet of 110 lb cardstock.  I then colored the page using Golden blue (green shade) fluid acrylic.  I made sure the top was pure acrylic to which I added a bit of water as I reached the bottom of the page.  Once the acrylic was completely dry, I added stars randomly using a stencil and my white Posca pen.  I made a few spots using the same pen.  Next, I added the words I tried to turn into a poem.  Finally, I added the date.

Wendy, Chris, Erika, Valerie, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of Above us only sky.

 

We welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  We cannot leave comments on Facebook or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards, tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, we ask that you either provide a translation tool or translate it for us.  Hope to see you soon at Art Journal Journey.
