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 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.
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.

...Dance? I'll just watch!
Haleluyah and hurray!! You can comment! Well, that's amazing!
Great pages you showed us. It seems I have seen them before but I could have been mistaken.
Yes the song about the bridge is one of the songs we learnt at school in French classes. I later learnt they danced under the bridge (rather than on) on the Île de la Barthelasse, where taverns and leisure activities flourished in the 19th century.
Enjoy the weekend,

Hurrah!! Hurrah!! I'll write that twice since now being able to leave comments is exciting. You must be thrilled. I also learned the song about the bridge in French class back in my school days. And I've been to Avignon. Not a big visit but we found it while rambling around southern France one school vacation. Don't drive into he walled city though. The roads are narrow and tight. It is better to walk. Have a super Friday. hugs-Erika
Lovely
I like the blue background of the music page as it highlights one of the dancers costumes. Yay, for being able to publish comments
Lovely ...
So pleased you are able to publish comments :)
All the best Jan
I'm so happy you got solved your blog problem, and thank you a lot for your wonderful comments in my place Elizabeth 🥰
Your art journal pages here are always informative and well done as also now. They are perfect examples of the journal theme, which is the main subject.
I'm wishing you all the best; good health and creativity for the upcoming new month👍🦜😘
Great news you can comment again Elizabeth! Nice post
Hi Elizabeth. It is nice ti visit your blog again. I thought you had 'retired' but I gather you just couldn't post comments and now you can. I saw you had visited Lisca's page.
I am not into your style of art journalling but I used lots of security envelopes when I first tried Iris folding for cards.
You will see that we are now back in UK and have a little old house that we are gradually getting how we want it. We have a lovely view of the town park.
