Widow to My Soul

 Happy Friday everyone! This week went by pretty fast, but I will say with the very high heat and humidity early in the week I am pretty wiped out. At least now we are back into some better and more normal temperatures.:)
So today I have a journal page that I am linking to 2 sites. Check out all the cool art at Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting. Also check out all the cool art at Art Journal Journey. This month's guest host is Corrine and the theme is windows.

This is a mixed media page. I started with a Gelli print. Then I added some ink, tape, paint, a die cut, some stamping and some plastic shell beads.

The face in the window is light on purpose.  I wanted it to represent the soul, which isn't a big bold visible thing. Of course people's true souls sneak out all the time, don't they?

I debated whether to use the little plastic shell beads or some regular shells or even some doodled paper shells, but I liked the color and 3D pop the plastic beads gave to the page. Hole and all!

And since my page is about the sea, how about a few photos from the sea last weekend?

I wonder if the cormorants start to flock up in the late summer. usually you don't see such a big group of them flying.

These baby gulls are are big as their parents.

 You can't see the floating motion since this is a still photo, but what cool texture and color pattern  this seaweed had.

Looking back to shore. This from my zoom, all zoomed in.  We are 6 miles away, but it was such a clear and gorgeous day!

And how about a big splash!
Hope you have some enjoyable weekend plans, or even lack of plans, because sometimes having nothing on the agenda is better than having something on the agenda. I think I need to help do some cleaning out of my mother's house this weekend. Waiting to hear from my brother about that. (Although it sounds like it would be a beautiful boating day so if he can't make it maybe we'll boat instead!) I don't think going through everything of my Mom's will be fun, but will be good to get it done. Hopefully it won't take up too much of my weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
