Bee Feed Flower Mix

 

Today I have an offering for Halle of Halle's Hobbies at Art Journal Journey.  Halle is challenging us to think about Botanicals, which is her theme for July.  Because I have multiple media, I am also joining Creative Artiste's 117th challenge, where the theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes.   Additionally, Try it on Tuesday's theme this fortnight is Summer Blooms, so I will join them, too.  After all, summer is when these bee feed flowers bloom.

I think you see where I got the title of this latest post.  Details are below.

This entry began when I found the unopened flower mix in my stash.  I decided to color a partial page the same colors as the mix using water soluble crayons.  I wish I had thought to color the bottom of the page, too, but didn't think of it until after the page had been assembled.

Once the page was dry, I began the assembly.  I first layered pages of various foreign texts in place depending on size, beginning with the crumbling vintage sheet music.  Once each had been glued in place, I added three labels from my stash.  I tried to get two pages captured under each label.  Finally, I added a row of what I have always been told is called German scrap to the bottom of one of the pages.

 

Thank you so very much for your visit. I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey, Creative Artiste, and Try it on Tuesday.
