The House Bach Built

 

I want to begin by thanking our second time host, Vicki Parsons of Stamped Smiles for hosting during the month of February at Art Journal Journey.  She did a fabulous job hosting and we look forward to having her back next year.  I only wish I had not been so sick in February and could have participated more.

This month my dear friend and co-administrator Erika

is our host the entire month of March at Art Journal Journey.  

Her theme is   Home Sweet Home

She provides all kinds of examples on the AJJ blog.


This is the house Bach built.  Detail shots are below.







 

I have several pages of painted sheet music I didn't use last month and I decided to start this month using some of those to create this house.  Various pages were used to create this home.  I painted vintage sheet music pages using Phthalo Blue in a green shade and Phthalo Green in a blue shade, and Silver, all Golden brand fluid acrylics. I added a piece of gifted twill tape between the roof and the house.  I added the "tree" because the house looked bare sitting by itself.

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 Home Sweet Home.

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 mineHope to see you and your Home Sweet Home entries soon at Art Journal Journey.

Hi Elizabeth! What a wonderful way to use sheet music - you created a perfect page. I especially like your play on words in your title. I loved looking through your detail photos, too. Everything is so clever, I really like your tree! And more importantly, I hope you feel better this month. Take care!! Hugs, Sharon
