Vintage patterns-digital images and art-art quilts-mixed media
This was my first reflection page I created from the kit given us for the challenge. It was provided by Robyn of Red Dog Designs. I created the background with two of her papers cut with a sunburst and then added another and blended it.
Blue Herons are awesome birds, sitting completely still for long periods of time, sometimes on one leg. This fellow allowed me to get in very close and take his photo several times. He did finally get his fish. There is more to his story but that is for another page.
The last challenge for June at the Just Art site was pick a season. We had several parameters we had to meet. I have some beautiful photos of dawn breaking over the trees in the fields behind our old house. I am so glad I had the honour of seeing these sunrises and being able to keep them forever to look back on now that we have moved into the city.
After the rain was created for the Junk Box challenge at the Just Art Site. We were given a quantity of papers and elements that didn’t match to use however we wanted. This is the first of two pages I made.
The rain is the second page. For this page I created brushes from the flowers so I could use them in different sizes by simply changing the brush size. The image is one gleaned from an old book that is out of copywrite and found on the Archive site.
This is another challenge for the month of June at the Just Art site. The mannequin came from Morgue File site. The flowers are from my flower garden through the years and the textures were all created from my plants as well.
I found a box of printable sticky labels at a Value Village the other day and the first thing I thought of doing was to paint on one of these pages. I just randomly painted, stamped, wrote and painted some more until the page was filled without worrying about composition. This page can now be torn or cut into sections when I need a bit of something on a journal page, the backing pulled off and stuck straight onto the page. I am now working on another using left over paint etc to cover it. When it’s full I will have another page. I loved just getting down and arty without having to worry about whether something looks balanced or the colours merge properly simply because it doesn’t matter. I can also use the image for digital pieces over and over without destroying the original piece.
