A Second Looks and some Faces for Friday

 Hi everyone. Happy December 2.

Today it is time for Second on the Second over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.

Here is a post from January 2016. I chose this journal page because Jo, who is hosting at Art Journal Journey this month,  has picked a theme of Snowy Winter. 



There is a face on my little  girl, but I also want to share a few more faces from  my last August visit to Three Sisters' Sanctuary in Goshen, Massachusetts. Here are a few more faces for Nicole's Friday Face Off.




You'll have to image the face on this next photo.


And one of the coolest faces at this art park was this dragon.




I think the clock looking piece at the corner  of the mouth is a bit confusing with the eye, but then who am I to judge?


I wish there had been a whole dragon, but there was just a head coming out of this stone wall.

And the artist who created this place certainly loved decorating mannequins. Or perhaps he just managed to buy a whole load of them for cheap.







And lastly, my friend's face behind this glass gives an interesting effect. It makes her look 10 or maybe even more years older than she actually is.

I am also going to link up to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.

I hope you enjoyed the rest of my photos from this art installation that I visited back in August as well as my second on the second view. Have a great start to your weekend, and thanks for visiting my blog.

Eggs for Breakfast, Lunch or Even Dinner

 Hi everyone. It's the weekend, and I hope you are enjoying yours.

Today let me share another page for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month their theme is Food or Collage Fodder or combine them both.

I found a page in a vintage cookbook about eggs. Actually there were lots of pages with egg recipes, but one page had this fun little take on a nursery rhyme. That rhyme become the centerpiece of my page.


I used and 8x8 inch piece of polka dot paper and put it down diamond shape on my page because it reminded me of a napkin. The chickens are stamped, colored and fussy cut. I hand drew and inked the eggs. I hope you have a minute to read this 1950's  egg "poem"; cookbooks just aren't written this way any longer.




And to wrap up my post, let me share a few more photos from Three Sisters' Sanctuary.


(fyi-not a real artist, it's a statue of one)

and for those of you who  like steampunk and rust







This next one is an amazing use of old spoons.








And let me finish with some cool reflections; first through glass blocks and lastly with the purple glass ball.





Enjoy your weekend. And thanks for visiting my blog.

Lots of Faces

Hi everyone.  Happy Friday to you. It's also Black Friday if you're into shopping.

And I hope those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a yummy day yesterday also. And if you didn't celebrate the day, I hope it was still a good one for you.

Today for Nicole's Friday Face Off off I have lots of faces to share. These are all photos I took this past summer on a visit to Three Sisters' Sanctuary in Goshen, Massachusetts.  The artist who created these pieces must have had lots of fun with all these bits and pieces. I'm actually not sure if it was the same artist who created all of these.

I'm also linking up to  Gillena's Friday Art Lunch Break with these photos also.



















That's all for me today.

Enjoy the start of your weekend.
