Wednesday Art

 Hi everyone. Happy first day of Autumn! 

Or for those of you who might live south of the equator, happy first day of spring. (Fall is a wonderful  season and I love it, but I must admit I am rather jealous you are going into spring. If only we could skip most of winter I might feel differently. Smile.)

This journal piece today is for Wendy's vintage challenge at Art Journal Journey. It is pretty obviously vintage. Smile.

As autumn starts today, my posted page is something that, although made of paper, looks a bit like autumn fabric.

I glued many paper scraps down on some watercolor paper to make my background. They are also inked to make the background  more cohesive. Plus some of the paper had those green Christmas trees (with a red star) on them, and I wasn't going for a holiday page. You can still see them, but the ink helps. After that I stenciled some random spots on my page and  stitched a border.

All that working on the paper left this page with a pretty good curl going on. I did manage to get most of that curl flattened, but obviously not all of it, as you can tell by the crooked  trims.

The page is finished with some added embellishments, as you can see.

Since the  background had scraps of that red plaid tartan paper and  the older of the 2 TH people is wearing  what looks like a nice wintery plaid dress, the calendar says November. Perhaps it is still warm enough for her to ride the bicycle and enjoy a late autumn day.

Hope you enjoyed my page. 

And thanks for visiting. It is always appreciated.
