I made this page today for all my friends and myself - for anyone who's been down and needing a reminder that springtime, whether mood related, weather related or health related, WILL come again. Hope it brightens your day a little bit!
I made this in an older journal that I made with business envelopes (you know, from when we had bills come in paper form to the house?) in a spiral binding. I don't recommend this paper even though it is recycling as it is lousy to work on. Once done with this journal I won't make another! But in the meantime, I occasionally make a page and today was one of those times. I used liquid acrylic for the background, cut-out daisies from a magazine (I don't get those anymore either although I am waiting for the mags to come up with an android version so I can get them on my Xoom), and marking pens for the decoration. I goofed and used a green pen that wasn't drying for the leaves. It turned out to be a pigment ink so I got out my clear embossing powder and took care of that problem.
Happy Sunday everyone!
Thanks for cheering me up with this great drawing and reminding me about Spring..just around the corner at last:)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, and I'm so glad you spent your Sunday creating this and sharing it here! Yes, I am ready for spring. But yesterday I noticed my crocuses peeking out of the mulch by the mailbox. It won't be much longer now! I always love to see what creative things you have been up to!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat to stop by and be cheered up with a lovely painting! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt always comes back...

Bright and beautiful--thanks for the cheery reminder!
ReplyDeleteI love it! SO optimistic, full of warmth and colour- everything that summer is, everything that awaits us, I hope!
