Hope


A journal page for Alison's theme
'Pockets     and Tags
 over at
The background is a stencil  mop up  to much purple paint to waste,
 in fact it did another print after this one.
I used my digital program to create  a tag using photos of this next hands on  page.




The  page   in my journal, with  a selection of stamps and a mop up background. My water colour paints on the light bulb turning out a bit yellow for my liking . I tried gesso to calm it down  but opted  to add
the digital image of a light bulb in my experiments to create a tag.










This page has been in the making for a number of days,  I lost the plot a bit on where it was going and finally decided to share with AJJ before it was  deemed  one  not to share.

My head is still looking for the light bulb moment.

Stay safe everyone.

  2. Sometimes those light bulb moments change course. I really like how this turned out. You put a lot into it to get it where it turned out. I like the stenciled background, too. But I like the double tags, both showing Hope. This is a lovely and uplifting entry for Alison's theme at Art Journal Journey.

  9. I got tickled by your post. I began to think how much you use digital and then what all I have come to be able to do hybrid-wise. A lot but still I don't produce an entirely digital piece. Started out being very against that, so I'm proud to have developed some hybrid skills such as resizing & tweeking my photos, and sizing my digital elements to print. If it doesn't involve too steady and precise a hand, I can even erase something, That's about it though, lol. XOX

  12. I like the way the tag is sitting on its purple patterned page as if it always belonged there and there is another little tag at the top which is very sweet.
    The second page is very different and complex. I'm not surprised you got lost in it and I'm glad you got it out to show it to us.
