Too cute

 

I'm once again at Art Journal Journey and joining Jo from Let’s Art Journal, our host this month, and her Wonderfully Wild theme.

Don't you just love these darling sloths?  As usual, I have a few detail shots.





I started by sewing a partial sheet of scrapbook paper to the substrate using blue variegated thread.  I loved the mottled look of the greens.  I then cut five sloth images from the back of a calendar (the small images found on the backs of purchased calendars).  Sadly, I couldn't fit five on the page and three didn't seem to be enough.  I really prefer odd numbers, but it didn't work out that way this time.  I was hoping to balance out the page with the sentiment I computer generated using my "black only" laser printer.

Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us today.  We hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of Wonderfully Wild.

I absolutely LOVE sloths! At FB you find many a video where people have these cuties to cross streets or walls up. The reaction of the animals is so cute. They often turn around - slowly - and raise their arm in thanks. It seems like that anyway. I saw one where a sloth made friends with a dog even! Very soft with the long bones of the hand.
Thank you for the Sunday-smile. Have a happy one.

How cute are those sloths! I love your page and the background you created for them is perfect. They really made me smile - is it me or do they look like they are smiling back at us 😊. I had the same idea and have used a sloth on one of my pages, but you'll have to wait until the end of the month to see it. Thanks so much for this wonderful inspiration over at Art Journal Journey and sending you happy weekend wishes! Hugs, Jo x

I love seeing sloths — the ones I’ve seen were all up in the trees since that’s where they spend most of their time. Most of them were in pretty wild places, but one was in an urban area in a tree behind a gas station in Costa Rica. The babies hang on their moms. There are several different species but they all have those cute sort of mashed-in faces.
