The Bear of Wall Street

Here's another page I am linking to Art Journal Journey. I started with this Brushoes background and then added this man stamped on an old book page (Stampers Anonymous). He looked to me like he might be several types of a man, but one of those is someone who made a lot of money in the stock market way back when. I also had these 3 stamped bears laying on my table in the scrap pile, so I added them and he became the Bear of Wall Street. He kinds of looks like he could have a gruff and grizzly bear side.

I think it is fun to have stories with your pages, and faces tend to do that in my brain. 

And then I thought to add the time saying which I stenciled on the page and painted. 

Funny how some pages look blah in person and when you photograph them they really look good, and how some pages look so much better in person than in a photograph. This is one of the latter; maybe because I think some of the items I added around Mr. Bear of Wall Street kind of get lost in this photo.
Here's a close up. It looks a little better here.

So I had a successful trip to Boston yesterday. All that is left for me to become a kidney donor to my husband is to complete is my mammogram in a couple of weeks. Then my file will go before the committee that makes the final decision. That means I passed everything yesterday!

That's all for me today. Hope your weekend is starting off in a good way!
