Hi everyone. Happy middle of the week. Today I have a short post as I'll be joining Matilde and her Houses and Buildings challenge at Art Journal Journey.
The photo of the little girl and her toys was in my stash. While cleaning I came across a sheet of images. On that sheet I noticed the house in the background of this image right away. I decided to make it the centerpiece of my page and to create a background for the lawn which stretches out in front of the house.
To make that background I used yellow paint and some green and blue watercolor splatter. I then added some flowered cloth tape. I also added a bit of honeycomb because somewhere in the yard I'm guessing there would be some bumblebees. I added the photo and put a frame around it, and then I added a little bumblebee chipboard image. All the bits and pieces on my page (other than the image) are from 49 and Market. The quote comes from an older French made stamp set by Aladine.
As I said, I'm keeping today's post short. Hope you have a wonderful mid-week. And thanks for stopping by my blog.

...you must have a BIG stash!!!
Pretty page. Love the bees
Enjoy the sunshine today
The girl is nice, but I can't recognize that she is carring - dolls maybe ☺️ .... well done BG 🌞
I really love how you put this all together. The little girl with the toys feels like she just walked out of her house. Maybe on her way to her friend's house? Have a nice day.
A big hug for you!
I'm curious about your process. If you don't mind me asking, do you usually start randomly, with whatever part of the piece calls to you first, such as the focal image, background, general theme, etc, and then build on ideas as they arise or do you have a plan in which you know going in what you have in mind and work from that mental image? I assume it's both at various times, as it is for me, but I think I tend to have an idea of what kind of project I'm doing (hat, shawl, blanket, socks, for instance) and then make it up as I go along, often changing direction as I proceed through the project. I'm always interested in how artists work, which I why I'm asking. Bill and I have done life story projects with artists in the past, which I really enjoyed.
I love the add of the honey comb. Well done, you.
I think it came out good.
