Happy belated Juneteenth! I had planned to write about this U.S. Federal holiday but I was offline due to the storms and my computer malfunctioning, so it wasn't possible to create a post in time. Instead, I give you the post originally planned for Wednesday.
It's once again time to join Matilde from Craftowanie, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme, in case you didn't know, is People. Because there are multiple media, I am also joining Creative Artiste's 116th challenge, where the theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes.
For lack of a better title, I named this Her Ticket To Love. Detail shots are below.
The background is cardstock I cut to 5.5 X 8.5 in. (13.97 X 21.59 cm). I colored the background using a yellow water soluble crayon. I first laid down the girl to see where to position her. Once I knew where to place her, I removed her and adhered the three tickets. Next I adhered the brown paper doily, but only glued it the length of the center because these flimsy doilies have a tendency to buckle when glued. Earlier I sprayed several of my handmade shimmering mists onto a used file folder. I then cut the heart freehand. Unfortunately the scanner doesn't show the shimmer.
I bought two packages of TH paper dolls at different times. I was surprised I got this woman in both packages. Both packs had three sizes of the same lady. I believe this is the last one of her.
I adhered the paper doll to the page. When she was in place, I added the two rows of washi tape to the bottom of the page so she would have something on which to stand. I then glued her legs in place using a glue stick.
Media used include a water soluble crayon, three tickets, doily, various shimmering mists, used file folder, paper doll, and washi tape.
Thank you beyond belief for stopping by. Bleubeard and I would love to see you today at both Creative Artiste and Art Journal Journey.
Fun page. The heart reminds me of pie and ice-cream and the girl is very cute. Hope she has fun at the event she´s got tickets for.
ReplyDeleteYes, a fun page, It made. me think of ice cream. The girl doesn't seem to have fun. Strange how people in those days were so serious. I suppose photography was a serious thing. I mean to be immortalised was a serious thing. And here she is, more than a hundred years later....
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,

This is lovely. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
ReplyDelete...here's to love!
ReplyDeleteI like the color combos here and the little girl is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the computer issues, but she is a pretty thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what show she is going to see.
ReplyDeleteNice page
ReplyDeleteShe looks rather pensive, I wonder if she is wondering if he will turn up to go to the show with her. I hope he does and then it will be worth her having bought three tickets. Why three? In case he does not turn up - she has arranged for some friends to come along if he hasn't arrived by a certain time.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's my interpretation.
Hugs, Neet xxx
I'm pretty new to Juneteenth. I'd not heard of it until recent times. I guess when your president turned against it!
ReplyDeleteA good message for her and to we all 👍🏼
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend 🥰🌿🍓
Great page for Matilde's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
