This is another favourite poem of mine called
'Warning', by Jenny Joseph.
the first couple of lines read....................
When I am old I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me
Another lines reads...................
'And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.'
I can relate to that one.
I tried my hand at making an all digital page for my journal, with the poem as part of the background.
I mainly used My Craft Studio images and free ones found on the net.
This took me ages, but I enjoyed the challenge to myself.
I am joining in at Art Journal Journey

Favourite poem/quote.

Fab page with a suitably eccentric looking lady in purple. I have that poem in a frame and I'm already turning into that person LOL. I have only ever done one digital piece and it took forever but you gave made a great job of it
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page, and btw, I love purple.....Thanks for joining us at AJJ, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI have a large red hat! I could dye my hair purple....I love that poem too LOL! A lot of people think I'm a tad eccentric so maybe that's why I can relate to the poem!
