A Big Flower

 Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was a little chilly here in New Hampshire, but the good news it  should feel a little warmer this week.  (Let's hope that those weather people are right!) The other good news is that my daughter came home for a Saturday into Sunday overnight visit, and since I hadn't seen her since mid-January it was nice to have her  around.

Today I thought I would share another page for Sheila's single flower challenge at Art Journal Journey


The background might look a bit familiar as it was a page I made for Creative Jumpstart back in January. It was telling me a big white daisy like flower would look fantastic on it, so I listened and added one.
I hand drew the flower. Before I glued it down I first cut up some printed acetate I had (old overheads from school) and glued down some words, and then I attached the flower. In the center I added some dabs of liquid glue and then added some of these little plastic beads to finish it off.
It works for me.

You might also remember I showed you this photo of seaweed last week.


I had said it would make a great stamp, so I carved one .



 I'm happy with results. I think I captured the essence of Rockweed (Fucus vesiculosus)! Also commonly called Bladder wrack. This one is stamped with some acrylic paint.
I used this to make some prints which I will show you another time.

  Happy new week. Thanks for visiting.
