Dancing to the music

 

I want to begin by thanking my dear friend and co-administrator Mia of Craftartista for her excellent hosting at Art Journal Journey during the month of January.  She did a fabulous job and gave lots of great examples of her theme.  What a fantastic start to 2025.  We are not just delighted she is a full fledged moderator, she is also a great asset to Art Journal Journey.

This month we have a second time host, Vicki Parsons who can be found at Stamped Smiles.  The theme Vicki has chosen is MUSIC.  She provides several examples on the blog, in case you need help deciding what Music means to you.  Vicki is a gifted artist and is known for "smashing her stash."  Music

I call this Dancing to the music.  Detail shots are below.

I started by painting a couple of vintage sheet music pages using Phthalo Blue in a green shade and Phthalo Green in a blue shade, Titan Buff, and Silver, all Golden brand fluid acrylics.  I then cut them into four pieces and assembled them onto a page in my Collage Too altered book.

I used the paper doll Elle gifted me in her Christmas card where I was given permission to deconstruct her card.

When I saw this man, I thought he might be dancing the soft shuffle and using the cane as part of the act.

Vicki, Erika, Mia, 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 Music.

Please remember we welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  I (and the administrators) cannot leave comments on Facebook or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards!!!  We also don't allow 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 translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs, including mine.  Hope to see you and your Music entries soon at Art Journal Journey.
