America's Music House

 

I want to begin by thanking our dear friend and co-moderator Mia from Craftartista for the superb job she did as host in May.  It was clear, we loved her bird theme.

Today we invite a new host as we do every month  This month it's the very talented Matilde at Craftowanie.  Her theme is Houses and Buildings.

I named this America's Music House.  Detail images are below.

 

I am not one who likes wobbly journal pages, but after I added watercolors to the 8.5 X 11 inch (21.59 X 27.94 cm) 110 lb cardstock, it warped badly.  I used two different vintage sheet music pages to create the house and garage.  The windows, door, and roofs were outlined using a black Posca pen. The garden, walkway, and driveway were created using dry erase pens.  The house number and flowers were created using felt tip pens.  

 

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 Houses and Buildings inspired art soon at Art Journal Journey.

 

This is also Day 1 of my annual ICADs.  This will be my 14th year.  If you are playing along, let me know and I will share your link on my blog. 

 

 

I started with a dictionary page I adhered to an index card.  I added two colors using dry erase markers.  The postage stamp is a Christmas jester and the word I chose is Dance.  Our names were added using a purple Micron pen. 

 

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Houses and Buildings.
