Thursday Journal with Neet

I was really stuck with this one : Drama Shield - Active. are the words to illustrate this week. My background is a mop up page with red distress inks on top to lessen some of the stencil markings of the mop up. The figures are Dylusions, painted with watercolour pens.                                                    Charlotte sitting on the large sunflower cushion has been telling her friend Bronwen all about her various dramas, including loosing her dog when they were out walking,  not being able to go to the gym and keep fit because of lockdown, and therefore putting on weight. She needed some new clothes and needed to go to a posh shop and try some on, again lockdown was preventing to what in her mind was very important. The list went on and on, and apart from loosing the dog, Bronwen didn't think any of the other things were important, and immediately activated her drama shield. She just looks bored and is no longer listening. Charlotte can't see that Bronwen is bored and not listening as she has put a cold press over her eyes to help her headache go away. I am entering this in Art Journal Journey where Valerie's theme is Heavy Metal. I have given Charlotte a golden crown and shoes, and there is some metallic ink on the background.

You have also chosen some fun characters for your story. Love the colours, and the gold additions are just right. Thanks for linking to my heavy metal challenge at AJJ again! Hugs, Valerie

This was a dreadful one to do with Dylusion figures, given a free reign it may not have been as bad but we both managed something. If you think this was bad look at next week's - I don't even understand it never mind illustrate it.
Hugs, Neet
ps I do like your red background and the cushion is great! x

I like your story Wendy. It goes so well with your quote for this week. I know some people who are into that type of drama, like clothes not fitting. I suppose many of us have had moments like that. Especially when we were 15 years old Smile. Love your page and those great bold colors. Thanks for joining in at Valerie's challenge at AJJ. Hope you are warm and not having too wintery weather. Hugs-Erika

Fun background and characters and they fit your story perfectly. We probably all need that drama shield she has (looks cool by the way) - this world is getting more and more full of drama. GREAT page, Wendy!
