The Buzz

Hello there folks. It's the first Friday of the new year and my long work week (ha-ha-just 2 days) will wrap sooner rather than later.  I like this kind of week. 

I spend several hours on New Years Day having some productive art time, including making this page.  I put a lot of yellow paint on one sheet of watercolor paper, way more than I needed so I rubbed another page onto top of it and that's how I got this yellow background. I like the slightly worn effect that it created. Almost all of the images on this page are stamped, either directly on the page or on white paper and then cut out. I also did a bit of coloring of these images with some markers.

I also cleaned off my workspace and added a few little paper dots and circles as well as the one mini flower on the top of the page. These are non-stamped bits.

So this month Jo is hosting at Art Journal Journey and her challenge is Something New. I am linking up with my bee page.

And you might ask how this page fits the challenge. It is because  I am interested in starting a bee colony, and have been for awhile. For Christmas this year my husband and daughter gave me some of the supplies I need to do that.

 My plan for 2020 is to get my box set up, and since I live in bear country I need to also put up a fence and unfortunately electrify it, otherwise my beehive won't survive very long.  But if I can get that all ready during the summer and fall of this year then in spring of 2021 I can order my bees.

Maybe you like my new hat.

It would work great for mosquitoes too, unless the mesh holes are too open. That I don't know.

 And I think my husband is actually quite interested in this also.

Or at least he had fun acting like a monster and getting the dogs to bark.

Have a great start to your weekend. And thanks so much for visiting.
