Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.
I'm back today with another page for Valerie's and my challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month our theme is poetry. After yesterday's silliness, today I have a few lines from a poem by William Blake. I copied this poem from a children's book of poetry, but if you look up the poem you'll find there's a lot more to it. Here's it is, Auguries of Innocence, if you're interesting in reading the complete poem.
I made a stenciled background, added a fabric flower on some rough hand cut stem and leaves. I added some sequins to the middle of the flower. Then I added a clock, but left the hands off since the poem mentions infinity and I couldn't figure out how to show the hands spinning constantly. I stamped the hand and fussy cut it, and then added the poem which I photocopied from my childhood poetry book.
And let me finish my post by sharing some spring photos. First, here's a view of a peach orchard I drove by the other day. The trees were all so pink. ❤
And here's another view in my garden gazing ball.
The other day I finally got into my older bee hive. The bees not only made it through the winter, but they are thriving.
Let's hope the new bees get to this point soon.
Have a super rest of your day.
