Black Birds Dancing and Singing

Yet more green in my bible journaling!

Linking to **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* - I have three shades of green on this page along with some purple, blue and yellow.

Sponged and stenciled the background, and drew the houses and birds on torn book pages.  I saved the pages from the little scary book worm who was eating them.  That was scary - I couldn't believe it - I have never seen one and it was in my house - no more buying old books until they are totally inspected.  Urgh!!!

The feathers are from DRS Designs - stamped on the page after my little handdrawn birds and houses were added with Gesso.  I watercolored them and then had to fix them a bit as they lost some definition.
Psalm 40 - praise for God and request for protection.  We need to do this constantly with the virus going around!  Super important to have that extra hedge of protection.

Hugz,

Nancy

  6. Fabulous page, Nancy. I love the background viisual texture and your cute drawings.

    Ewww ... you found a bookworm. I'd forgotten that there were such insects. Today the word makes me think of people who bury their noses in books. Who sees actual bookworms anymore ... except people who buy/collect old books for their art or their collection?

    Maybe your bookworn left lovely texture on some of the pages.

    Your psalm made me think of a phrase we might start repeating, "Pray healthy; stay healthy."

    Thank you for joining us at Art Journal Journey with this delightful green spread. Eileen xx

  9. Those black birds on the green look like they are having a blast. I think the coming of spring and all its glory is making them dance. Thanks for sharing with us at ARt Journal Journey. Hugs-Erika

  10. I apologize for visiting so very late, Nancy. I fear a few things have fallen through the cracks as I try to catch up after having internet woes for two days in a row.

    I LOVE these quirky, adorable birds. They are so sweet and sing a lovely message, too. Thanks beyond belief for sharing this lovely entry with us using Eileen's theme at Art Journal Journey.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
