A journal page for Erika's theme of, 'In the sky/In the air
over at...
It is a watercoloured background with some spray paint and blobs of blues.
Not the colour of the sky here in the UK today, but I can dream.
Nor is the sun shining and sending us warm golden rays.
I used a stencil and modeling paste for the rays.
The birds are stamped images, some fussy cut.
Tweetie the bird on the ground is wondering if he will ever fly as high as his friends.
It must take a lot of courage for a young bird to spread out its wings and fly for the first time.
Thank you for calling in today, your comments are always appreciated.
These are certainly happy spring birds! They are loving the sunshine-I don't blame them. (We have barely seen the sun in weeks so our birds will be doing the same happy flight once ours finally returns). Very cool sunbeam texture! I like how they come off the page and through the air. And Maddie's tail is back and wagging today. The vet said she had swimmer's tail or cold tail, which I had never heard of. You probably know this, but they get muscle pain in the tail that makes it really hurt to lift or wag it. A couple of days of rest and some analgesic and she is back to herself. Hurrah! Thanks for asking. And thanks so very much for linking up this super page at Art Journal Journey. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece with your happy, playful birds. Love the sunbeams. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing - I love all the details and how you arranged the sunbeams and all other objects so elegant on that super watercolor background!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful birdy page Yvonne! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your sunny sky, dear Yvonne. It puts this very cloudy day out of my mind. We may even see sun today, but until then, I will bask in the sunshine and warmth of your glorious journal entry. Those birds are fabulous, too. Thanks for sharing it with us honoring Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteWe got sun to cover you here in Texas today. No worries, lol. I love the shade of blue on your page, reminds me of the beach. I'm still fascinated by how you work in that journal and how big it is now that I have one. I'm trying to complete my first two journals before starting another one or else I'd have already played in my new one. It feels nice to hold, somehow that is an important thing. :-) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and I especially like Tweetie the bird :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
A lovely little scene, the blue of the sky looks like the summer we always dream of! Love the little bird, he does look envious of the ones that can fly.
