This is my second page for Art Journal Journey, where Erika has chosen Vintage or Modern for her theme this month.
This page is the right hand page to go with the previous one.

Art Journal Journey - Vintage/Modern.

This month on Art Journal Journey, Erika from BioArtGal has chosen the theme Vintage or Modern.
I have chose Vintage for my first page and am working on one to match on the opposite side of my journal. ( Will post it later at the weekend)
I have used a collage of various papers, some painted canvas and some stamping for my background, on a base of distress inks. The quote is from Paperartsy and the image is a Tim Holtz found relatives card. I added some lace, flowers and buttons to finish off.

Thursday Journal with Neet.

This is the first of our new journal prompts where we are using Dyan's  Dylusion quotes. The first one is "Pretending I'm a pleasant person is exhausting" My background is distress oxides with a few smudges of ink from spraying the next page. I have used a Dylusion figure and dog, and coloured them with watercolour pens. I struggled doing the spraying and ended up ripping that signature out. Note to self, don't use the sprays again, unless you feel more confidant.
The colours on the page are not like these, the photo seems to have dulled it all, and the orange is actually pink.
I am gradually feeling better after my op, although my concentration is a bit wobbly. I lost count of how many times I tried to get the photo on my blog and eventually went to bed without knowing whether I had achieved it. I could also sleep for England.

I am also linking this to Art every day month day three.

Tag Tuesday -- Edgar Alan Poe

Yet another tag for Michele's theme of Edgar Alan Poe on Tag Tuesday. A distress inked background and an image of Edgar Alan Poe. The bottles are die cuts.

Every Inchie Monday -- Belgium

This week we are still in Europe and Belgium. I have sewn the national flower which is very suitable for this time of year as it's the common red poppy (100 years after the end of WW1)
I have drawn the national bird, the kestrel.

Tag Tuesday -- Edgar Alan Poe

Another tag for Micheles theme of Edgar Alan Poe on Tag Tuesday The border at the base is a die cut, and the rest images from my stash.

Thursday Journal with Neet

Our last page for this journal, and we have ended up where we started a year ago with a Halloween type theme. This time Neet has chosen The Dark Side, with black and orange as the colours.
I was a bit stumped with this one and went for a grungy background and made up a weird figure.
My black paint is on it's last legs, so the stencil work is really grungy.
