What's Your Weather?

 Hi everyone. Happy new month to you. 

Can you believe this is month 11 of 2021?

I want to once again thank Tracey for being a wonderful host at Art Journal Journey. I also want to thank all of you who joined us with art journal pages last month. October was a wonderful month at Art Journal Journey.

It is always exciting to welcome a new host also. 

Our talented co-administrator Chris is hosting this month. You might recognize her from her posting name and her blog: pearshapedcrafting. She has a great new challenge , perfect for the changing atmospheric conditions in November: 

ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.

For my first page, I created a medley of several weather conditions based on the quote I wanted to use.

I inked the background watercolor paper with 2 shades of blue ink. Then I used some printed tissue paper to give the background a little more interest. I liked the big 55 because it could refer to a temperature.

I also thought the background in the 2 blue shades feels like there is some motion or since we are on the subject of weather, a just slightly more than gentle breeze blowing.

I added a couple of TH black and white images (the lady and her umbrella). That lady looks like she will take whatever comes her way without even blinking. 

I also included some chipboard snowflakes I had, after I painted and added a bit of sparkle to them. The sun was first painted onto the watercolor background paper. Then I stamped the sun image on some acetate, and after cutting it out, I added that to my page. I stamped the rain drops and also the names of a couple of months on my background as it should go without saying that the weather changes in different months.

Be sure to check out the other pages created by our talented AJJ admin if you need any inspiration.

I also want to mention that starting this month at Art Journal Journey, we are changing up the rules a bit. Although we will still want only art journal pages of any kind, we have dropped the size requirements.  For example, if you make a mini  journal, you can now link it. We accept journaling in a journal or lose pages. We also accept digital, cloth or canvas journaling also. 

Still NOT accepted  are cards nor tags. Please stop by the updated "dreaded rules" link and read the new information posted there.

I am also linking up to Art Every Day Month-Day 1 over at Leah's blog. Thanks Leah for hosting this challenge again this year. 

Wishing you a fantastic start to the new month! And I'm looking forward to your weather inspired art.
