Bits and pieces for AJJ


Where is November going and only a few more days to join the fun over at
where Susi's theme for this month has really made me stop and
 think what I am adding to my journal pages....
Collage with a twist...no faces, wings or leaves.




Scraps old an old map and embossed paper, went on top a a mop up page.
 I had a packet of stamped pieces and was able to find these ones that seem to go with a map, but  my pages take a life of their own and I have to make myself stop before adding more.
Additional shading was distressed ink.
These pieces were never meant to go together, but it seems to have worked out
 on a collage page.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, your visit is much appreciated.

  2. Very interesting collage, Yvonne, I had a nice little browse round all the "bits" which you have cleverly combined. Fun that your pages have their own ideas, I know what you mean.

  3. That is a cool collage Yvonne. I love how you used the map as the base and then added to it. Those stamped images work really well with the background. Hope its been a really nice weekend for you. Hugs-Erika

  11. Holy cow. This is incredible. I love the alphabet and the various disparate pieces you pulled together so well. This is a genuine beauty. I never thought of art that way before now. What a great way to look at it.

  15. I absolutely love that quote and never looked at art in that fashion but I think it's so right. I kept an art journal over the past 3 months while away in England and it brought me so much joy reviewing after arriving back home in the states.
