Second on the 2nd: My Dream Home

 

As most of you know, I like my second look each month to reflect our host at Art Journal Journey's (AJJ) theme. That means I needed to find something related to Erika's Home Sweet Home theme.

This post is from a challenge in September, 2018.

Let me introduce you to My Dream Home.

My dream home is filled with love.

My dream home has a lovely flower garden

that surrounds my love-filled

art studio. 

It's no secret I love to make houses, but I'm not good at drawing.  I was surprised I pulled this fantasy house off.

For this page, I began by laying down heavy lines of water soluble crayons.  I filled in the house with more water soluble crayons I adhered using a lighter touch.  I added the green stem and the grass at the bottom of the house using two colors of green.  I painted card stock red and yellow using bingo dabbers, then cut hearts, flower petals, and doors to add interest to the house.  I placed blue dots around the insides of the hearts and petals using a felt pen.  You can tell when I began to get tired, making the pen hard to hold.   Finally, believing it needed something more, I used a word stamp around the perimeter.  The stamp is called V-mail, and I got it in the discontinued bin one year when several of us went to River City Rubber.

Now it's time to share your own 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.  It could even be one that holds special meaning, like mine.  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.  The link will be live until 4 p.m. Monday, which is tomorrow, so it is best to share it on the 2nd.
