Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday.
Today I have a new page for the In The Air/In the Sky challenge at Art Journal Journey And this one is a little crazy!
I found this image and words on a magazine cover at school. The magazine was in the ready to go into the trash pile so I snagged it. I took it last year, long before I knew I would be hosting Art Journal Journey, but then I recently found it at home. And even though you wouldn't see this alien creature in the sky (or t least I hope you wouldn't), you always hear about strange potential alien sightings in the sky, so I decided it was OK to push the envelope and include it.
This is a spread from my Night Sky journal that I have been working on for over a year now. I started this page by stenciling with some black paint and adding a couple of pieces of printed tissue paper. Then I cut out the image and words and attached those. Finally I added a few little metal stars that I had.
Thanks so far to all of you who are linking up to Art Journal Journey. The art so far this month is fantastic. And if you haven't yet joined us for some In The Air/In The Sky fun, you still have time to do so as we're only half way through May.
Hope your week is going well!

This is fantastic and a great idea. You are right that aliens come from outer space, therefore they passed through the sky to get on the ground, so this fits the theme! (I've always found UFO stories interesting. And I've been meaning to make an art journal page for this month's challenge, but I haven't done so yet.) I'm glad you snagged the magazine, because you found a great use for its images.
This is a fun piece, good idea to use those pictures you found again. I encountered lots of Aliens and Zombies on my walks today - people moving around with eyes glued to their cell phones and who get a fright when they bump into others! Hugs, Valerie
A fun twist on the theme. Well done. Hope you get to enjoy the sunshine today.
Some people are willing to throw away real treasures, and I'm glad you saved this. The page is right down my alley lol
What a clever idea! Fabulous inspiration, Erika, and a great page! Kisses!!!
Oh WOW an awesome take on your theme Erika. Its a great page but,I wouldn't like to see a creature like that in the night sky. Yet who knows what the future and space exploration, will one day come into being.

What a fun and unique take on your theme at Art Journal Journey, dear Erika. You just never know what you are going to find that inspires you, and something headed for the trash that has been salvaged is possibly even better. Great job, dear.
again you made yet another stunning piece. love it
Wow! I only popped in for a link and look at THIS!!!! I'm glad it's early in the day or I might have nightmares!!! This is absolutely brilliant Erika - you have set me thinking now!!! Hugs, Chrisx
I love that you have so many different journals. This is so different from your other work! It must have been fun to do.
Such fabulous pages! Then background looks amazing with those fun magazine images 😀. I hope you've had a lovely week! Hugs, Jo x
p.s. sorry I forgot to link my page to AJJ earlier this week, it's been a bit hectic in a good way ...lol 😉. xx
This alien does not look very inviting ... so I enjoyed your next post with the flying alien, it looks much more nicely :)
But you made a great collage with these pictures and that text on your wonderful background! Hugs-Rike
