Sunday Art

 Hi everyone. I hope you're having a great weekend.

Today I have another journal page for Aimeslee's Anything Goes challenge at Art Journal Journey.  I'm also linking up to Gillena's  Sunday Smiles.

     This is a page out of my harvest/garden journal that I'm just about finished with. I love how it's bright and cheery.

      The background is an old sheet of denim style paper that's been sitting around since I did a lot of scrapbooking. (I bet it's at least 25 years old if not older. I guess it was  time to use it!) I thought it worked great for a garden theme because you might wear denim while working outside. The fence is a very old stamp by Cornish Heritage Farms. They went out of business a long long time ago ( like maybe 2010 or even before that) , but even though I'd never used it, I could never get rid of it when I did a supply purge. And finally I had a place for it. 😏 I like the details and size since it's big enough to fit across my page.

     The other images came from some other various stamp sets. I stamped, fussy cut and colored the watering can, and then I cut it so the handle would slide behind the fence post. I love the rooster who I'm guessing is getting us up and wanting us outside in the garden. I used several ink pads on the stamp to color him in. He was also a bit tricky to fussy cut, so I left the white edging around him. Finally the quote is stamped directly onto the paper. 

       I painted in the grass, and then to add some brightness to the page I added the sun yellow daisies at the bottom. I decided I wanted to add a sun also, but I didn't decide that  until everything was already glued down. Since the sun should have gone behind the rooster and fence, I decided just to leave it off.  Perhaps Mr. Rooster had a bit of a sleep in and the sun is already high in the sky. 😏

      I thought I'd also share a few more photos from my art walk last week at Alnoba. If you missed my first post about the walk and are curious, you can find it here: Alnoba part 1.

The sign in the back is by Hank Willis Thomas and is a fun play on the words. It is titled Love Over Rules.

This red installation was made of lots of lobster pot line, woven together and painted red. It is by Orly Genger, and is called Going, Going, Gone. You can also walk on top it, so I gave it a try.  It's not really squishy, but a little bit.

Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
