Art Journal Journey - Birds.

 Another page for Mias theme of Birds on Art Journal Journey.

I collaged the page with green papers with the corner one printed by myself. I added a saying to the tag and used a piece of tissue paper from Tim Holtz  collage range of tissue papers. I love making tags.

ART Journal Journey - Birds

 Neet passed away last Wednesday, so I will not be doing the Thursday Journal anymore, but I will endeavour to support AJJ in other ways.

Mia is hosting this month on Art Journal Journey and her theme is birds, one if my favourite.

I have done a collaged background with a bird tag on top.

Art Journal Journey - Spring forward.

I have decided to not do the Thursday Journal until Neet is well enough to join me.

In the meantime I will do pages for Art Journal Journey where Chris's theme is Spring forward             This page is a collage with a tag on top depicting the nesting of the birds and a few Sprng flowers.

Thursday journal.

     'The skeletons in your closet are suggesting that you upgrade to a double-wide walk-in'  are this weeks quote. I'm not sure I would know how to take that remark if someone said it to me.

Dorothy and her slim friend Zoe were discussing fashion and how to keep up with it, although Zoe really didn't think her friend knew what fashion was.  

"I just wear what I like that I am comfortable with" exclaimed Dorothy

"Yes that's all very well, but you are still in your twenties and dress as someone in their fifties. replied Zoe.

"Oh do you really think so, perhaps I should start by loosing weight, and go from there. I'm pleased you told me as I rarely think about clothes" said Dorothy.

"You do look a bit frumpy in that dress which looks more like  a dressing gown. In fact the skeletons in your closet are suggesting you upgrade to a double wide walk in" laughed Zoe

"Yes, very funny. giggled Dorothy.

I am linking this to Elizabeths theme of 'Anywhere, Any time, Any place  with Anyone on Art journal Journey

Thursday journal

 This week the words are 'Some people say their body is a temple. Mine is a bouncy castle.

As usual Abigail is complaining to her fiend Cathy that is is fed up with going on a diet and not loosing any weight. 

"It's probably because you only do them for about a week and  the go onto another one. It's a big triumph for you if you loose1lb, that's not going to get you anywhere. You either have to stick to one good diet or do some exercises and eat sensibly, then you might loose some weight". Cathy replied.

"You know I don't do exercise, but I suppose I could do something about my diet "Abigail mumbled.

"Please try, or I will get fed up with you grumbling all the time. Cathy said.

Ok, some people say their body is a temple,. Mine is a bouncy castle" replied Abigail.

They both laughed at that.

I am linking this to  Art Journal Journey where Elizabeths theme is  Any where, Any time, Any  place, With anybody.
