New Art Journal Page

This page started out with a background of an art journal page from a magazine, there was a little text and some watercolors used, they appealed to me and got me inspired to create.

I added som paint of my own here an there, more like a whitewash, then added the piece of Washi tape down the middle and hand wrote: "Some days it's hard to get creative with an art" then used the word Journal I clipped from a magazine.  Used a clothing tag on top that i cut into a banner flag shape - which also served to get rid of writing on it not pertinent. I also whitewashed the tag, outlined the star and added the magazine clipped word. Used some DITTO red ink spritz in the center an below that a cigar "ring" with a fleur-de-lis on top and some paper buttons on the bottom, one with a safety pin through it.  This page came together slower than I had hoped, had some creative "blockage" going on, but finally finished it.

Time to work on another one!

Presidents' Day - No Mail ...sigh....

Yes, it is Presidents' Day which means NO MAIL and makes me sad.  Bad enough none on Sunday,

but this makes 2 days in a row, no mail joy!  Well, that doesn't mean I stop making mail art

envies to send out though!

found the art nouveau design online then added some magazine clippings to it...

Need to go to a CROP - miss working on my scrapbook pages for hours and hours at a time and at a crop is the easiest and most inspiring way to do it in my opinion.
