Friday Art

Hi everyone. Happy Friday to you. 

I'll start my post with another journal page for Alison's Play It Again Sam challenge at Art Journal Journey

My page today is not true for me ( I am not really a night owl), but is an ode to so many songs that reference night. To make a border around my page, I scribble wrote the names of songs I could think of or could find online that have the word night in the title.

I then added a dictionary page that I had used a bit of watercolor paint on. On that dictionary page, I drew in and colored some stars.  Then I cut out this owl from a sheet of paper. I added and outlined some details on the owl.

While going through some things I came across a bin with some old rub on letters from Making Memories Scrapbooking supplies. I don't know if this company is still in business, but I've had an up and down relationship with this box of rub on letters for the last 20 or so years I've had them. I've often thought about passing them along because I wasn't using them, and then I'd decide I should use them, so I used them for awhile, and then I didn't use them, and then I again had the thoughts about passing them along. OK, enough back and forth with these rub ons, so I brought them out and have been using them for the moment. I like the letters, but they're also a pain because each package has at least 26 sheets with one letter from the alphabet  per sheet. Not one A or one B, but a page with maybe 15 A's and then another page with 15 B's. Etc. And some have more pages because they include numbers. It does mean there are lots of letters per sheet, but it also means a lot of flipping back and forth. 

Anyhow, the short of it is that I used a few of those letters to make the title on my page. 

My page title is the title of a song written by Carly Simon, and is performed by Carly Simon  and also in a slightly different version by her former husband  James Taylor. It's got great lyrics, a really fun beat and is one of my favorite ode to the night songs. 

I also have a tag for Valerie's challenge at Tag Tuesday. This challenge is to use (mostly) 

blue and/or green.

I'm not sure I'm crazy about the spring quote, but I have a limited range of images to use right now since (as you all know), my normal work space and supply storage is a bit disrupted. Smile.

And if Gillena is doing her Friday link up to her Lunch Break , I'll link up over there also.

And look, my early crocuses are blooming.

I have some larger ones that will be in bloom soon; that's why I call these my early crocuses.

That's it for me today. I'm going to start painting the spare bedroom today. Yahoo. I want to do that before the floor gets put down. But we are getting closer. Have a wonderful start to your weekend.
