Magic

Hi everyone. Thursday, May 9,  is a special day  for the hubby and me. It's the 2 year anniversary of the kidney transplant.  For those you who only recently met me, my husband had end stage kidney failure because of a rare autoimmune disease. And I was a match and donated him a kidney. That was 2 years ago today. I can't believe how fast these 2 years have flown and of course, I am really happy he is doing so well.

I still think that whole process that can they can do this type of medicine is magic.  Just to think  people  came up with the idea to put another person's to replace a damaged one and then they figured out how to do it and keep it all from being destroyed by the recipients immune system is science but really something else too. 

It certainly gives people more sunrises to view, and that today is the theme of my latest journal page, seeing sunrises are pretty magic. (And so are sunsets, which this page could also be.)

Here is my latest page for the In the Air/In the Sky challenge at Art Journal Journey.
I began by painting this bright sun, and while it was wet I added some yellow glitter to it so it would shine. I painted the foreground with black paint and then used the same black paint and a stencil to give it some texture. The trees and their shadows are hand painted, the flying geese are stamped, and I used watered down acrylics to give the sky it's pink color.  Then I added a bit of off white to show the morning light appearing and some black numbered washi tape for some contrast.  Finally I added a clock sticker and a metal clock hands as well as stamping and adding the word magic.
And the latest challenge at Moo Mania is anything goes but use just one word on it, and that is my magic word.
I have loved seeing everyone's pages over at Art Journal Journey so far this month. You ladies really rock!
Hope everyone is having a good week.
And thanks for visiting my blog.
