What's Up?

 

 Happy 2026!!!

I want to begin by thanking Sharon from "That Girl Fritchey!" for such a great job hosting in December.  We've already invited her to join us again this year to host a month.  Second, in case you haven't read, blogger is STILL not allowing me to leave comments.  I cannot seem to get rid of the dreaded "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later." Please understand I hope you realize I DO keep trying at least twice a day.  

We begin the new year with a new host as we do each month.  This is one of our moderators and my dear friend Erika who many of you know as BioArtGal.  Erika's theme for the entire month of January is What's Up? 

Erika suggested "if you want you can make pages about things that are up,
like things in the sky..."  Therefore, I went that route. 

It's obvious I named this "At the hot air balloon festival."  Details are below.

I began by coloring 110 lb cardstock using blue watercolor.  Once dry, I stamped five hot air balloons, the best of which I detailed.  I then computer generated the sentiment and outlined it using black dye ink.

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, TicTok, or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards!!!  Period! 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.  Finally, we do not allow back-links to any journal page published prior to the start date of this month's challenge. Hope to see you and your What's Up? inspired art soon at Art Journal Journey.

 

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of What's Up?
