Lost in Time-- for AJJ


Oh, that we had time to just sit and stare,
 get lost in our own thoughts and watch the world go by.

I used all sorts of things on  this mixed media page.
A watercolour wash , background of pale blue.
Next Distress  inks, Abandoned Coral, Black Soot and a little Mustard Seed.
A bit of random stamping, before I added  the stencil figure [Donna Downey]
I had made a digital page  of time pieces etc . which I used as her base, 
 black soot to shade it all, before cutting the shape out.
The clock stencil [Tim Holtz] that I added with modeling paste
 was lightly highlighted with gold gilding wax. 


I have added a few words round the side of Alice
'Sometimes she sits and thinks, sometimes she just sits'.
I hope Valerie doesn't mind , as it was on her inspirational blog that I first saw this idea
to write around the figures..

Alice is off to Art Journal Journey, 


there are still a couple of days to join the fun  .
August's theme is Time.
The awesome inspirational Gallery for this theme can be found

This is another scheduled post , I will catch up with you all soon.

  9. Another great page, I love the main image and how you made her. I'm a bit of a daydreamer too, it used to get me into trouble at school.

  10. Wow - so glad I had a bit of time to catch up - I wouldn't have wanted to miss this. Love the clock texture and the amazing way you've used the digi page to create the woman's body. Stunning work!
