The Dancers and Avignon

 

Something happened late last night that had me dancing.  Have any of you who use Firefox gotten a notice there was a new update?  I ignored it on Thursday and now wish I hadn't.  Hindsight is always 20/20.  After I installed the update, I did what I always do twice a day.  I left myself a comment.  This time, instead of reading "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later," my comment published.  That's when I decided to see if I could leave comments to others.  I chose the two people who have stuck by me every day this month: Tom and Erika.  Now I'll be by to leave comments to you, too! 

Bleubeard and I have been hosting Art Journal Journey (AJJ) this month.  Our theme for the entire month is Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone.  

Today, I have two pages I created and they are both very different.  Those of you who have visited my blog in the past know how much I love to sew paper to paper.  Therefore, it should be no surprise that I would have to include at least one entry this month that included sewing.  

I named this entry The Dancers.  Details are below.

 

 

I started with vintage sheet music I colored using blue, green, and silver fluid acrylic paints.  I sewed the two dancers I found in my stash to the background using blue variegated thread. 

 

My second entry takes us back to France. 

 

We are visiting Avignon.  Details are below.

 

I started once again with one of my favorite backgrounds: security envelopes.  These were all very different patterns.  I found images from two different travel brochures, one of which contained the image of the famous bridge, the other of a World Heritage site.  Information for this page came from various sites on the internet.  This page was 5.5 X 8.5 inch (13.97 X 21.59 centimeter) created on 110 lb. cardstock. 

 

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone.  Be assured, now that I can leave comments, I will definitely be by to catch up.
