Thursday journal with Neet



Never forget your sparkle are the words this week, and  I have used a black background with a leaf stencil and glimmer spray. I drew round the top leaves with Tim Holtz stickles, and also drew the words with them as well. They didn't show up very well so had to go over them with a white pen.

The figure and cats are Dylusions and painted with watercolour pens. her cloths and the cats also have stickles on them. A very glittery page for me, and it doesn't show up very well on the scan. I am entering this in Art Journal Journey where Chris’s theme is Hold the line. I think there are enough lines to qualify.

This post is scheduled as we are in wet and windy Cornwall this week. We come at this time of year so my daughter can let the dogs on the beach. The range of pebbles here is fabulous and the car will be somewhat heavier going home.

These photos were on my phone so I took photos  of photos, if you get my drift.

What a dark page - I never expected that but a great way to show the sparkle - which is so difficult in scans.
Love the bright, almost fluorescent colours of the cats and her trousers. Shows up so well against that dark background.
Hugs, Neet xx
ps hope you are having a lovely time on the beach

Your page does sparkle beautifully. I love how sparkles stand out against the dark background. And those star pants, well what else is she supposed to do besides sparkle? And your trip to Cornwall tooks amazing. What a gorgeous beach. I would enjoy visiting there and looking at all the amazing rock formations. And if I had m dogs, they would go crazy running, especially the one who loves to be wet. Have a wonderful rest of your trip and week. And thanks for sharing your piece at Art Journal Journey also. Hugs-Erika

Love that leaf stencil and the effects you got from it. I have some Stickles tucked away and must get them out again. A bit of sparkle is a good thing.
Great holiday photos.

You truly sparkled, Wendy. I could see it in the writing and the glimmer spray through the stencil. This was SO different and I absolutely love it. Lots and lots of lines for Chris's theme. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey, dear.

LOVED your photo. Loved the rocks and the beach. Amazing shots. You are so lucky to be on holiday there.
