Happy Friday everyone. Man this was a fast week! I could have used some better karma, seems like I am being preyed upon by the downers, including a modem that died so I have no internet at home. The new one is suppose to arrive today though. Hopefully it does.
Th other bit of good news was that I had posted this photo and scheduled it for today so I could quickly write the post at work.
I am connecting this page to both Paint Party Friday and also to Art Journal Journey.
This page started as a an dictionary page which was glued and painted. Then I used a cathedral floor plan stencil and some light molding paste to create the pop up plan. I inked it over with black so it would stand out more. The building image is stamped on a heavy plastic wrapper some art supply came in, and then I used an ancient Postmodern Design stamp set to add the architecture words. The crows are a die cut from Memory Box image. I cut them off of the tree they were attached to, and I used that leftover tree to create the little branches bow at the top of the page.
I am going to keep this short as I have too much on my agenda I need to get done before the kids roll in today. Have a great weekend everyone, and hopefully by tomorrow morning (even better by tonight) I will be back up on-line!

Wonderful seasonal colors and I loved hearing how you gathered the "parts"
This is such a mysterious and atmospheric piece. Love it.
This is so unusual and eye-catching. I like the floor plan and love the way you have stamped the building on plastic, never done that. Also like the way you have split your bird/tree stamp. Lots of good ideas here.
Fascinating Page! Love the texture and all the interest. Sorry you are having computer issues ... it will get better!
oh, bummer about the internet:( Hope you're back on very soon. Great page-and again-gotta love Postmodern Design stamps!
Wonderful spookidy art and post... We have had similar problems too... our fridge finally bit the dust and we have to wait 10 days for our new one!! Ho hum...such is life!! Here's to good things in our future!

I thought my modem went out earlier in the week, but fortunately it was just my internet that was a problem. I hope you get yours soon.
I adore blueprints, so this was fun. I especially enjoyed the "not to scale." Fun painting and stamped images. Liked how you cut up the die cut, too.
You sound like you've had quite a week... but hopefully your art has helped.
You've created a fantastic journal page ;D
I hope your weekend goes well... happy PPF to you
Wonderful, spooky feel to your piece!! Love the colors and motion as my eyes are swept around the texture of it all! Happy PPF :)
You're so talented, Erika, the colours and textures are fabulous. Enjoy the weekend sweetie!
Love and hugs

What an extraordinary piece. I felt captured by it--I wanted to sit and look. Beautiful.
Hope things are worked out and better now. Love this piece art.
