Friday Faces, Friday Lunch Break and Second on the Second

   Hi everyone. Friday has rolled around already, and it's a busy posting one. Today is October 2 which means it's time to repost some second looks for Second on the Second over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.  Today I also have faces for Nicole's Friday Face Off and  a post Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.

  

  This post has some previously published art that has lots of faces.  All my journal pages are from 2  posts back in October 2022.  It's hard to believe that 2022 was already 4 years ago as in many ways I feel like I just made these journal pages. Time just goes way too fast.

   First of all, seeing it's now October, I feel like I can share some Halloween art. 👱👿👹😱 This paper art is not as exciting as Nicole's skeletons,cauldrons and witch shoes, but I still like vintage Halloween and how these pages came out. You can find the link here for these relooks: October 27, 2022.

    And if Halloween is not your thing, here's a glimpse of another October 2022 post : October 29, 2022. This time it's some trip journal page from a US National Park trip we took in September of that year.

    I'm not sure painting stalactites and stalagmites is something I really (and still don't) know how to do, but these don't look too bad in an abstract form. Smile. I hope everyone has had a great start to the new month, and that you also have a super Friday and start to your weekend. 

Second on the Second

     Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. It's June 2, and time over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog    for second blog looks, better known as Second on the Second.

    For my second look I'm taking you back to June 6, 2019 when I had this journal page up on my blog. I picked this post because  I kind of felt like an astronaut all of May. Not that I was on the moon, spaced out, or even traveling any place far off, but  I watched the world green back up again from the winter  landscape of greys and browns back to full fledge summer. I imagine if any astronauts are sensitive to color they must notice the green plants along with  so many other colors  when they return to earth after a space journey. And of course, the view of the earth from space must be pretty spectacular too.  Plus, I really like this image.

   And in case you aren’t aware, this month at Art Journal Journey Matilde is hosting with a theme of People.   The astronaut is an old post, but here's a new journal page on that theme.

   My page today is also from my new nature journal. This page is made with assorted stickers from a big sticker book that I have, except for the book page corner on the bottom left which is from a sheet of Ciao Bella paper and also the frame which is from 49 and Market. The quote is also not from the sticker book.

 The cool microscopic drawings are images by Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel was a German biologist who drew very detailed pictures of marine organisms . He lived between 1834-1919.

   And if you're curious about this sticker book that I referred to, this is it.

    I've had this book for several years, and I haven't used it as much as I'd hoped when I bought it. However, many of the images are nature oriented and work well for this new journal I'm making, so you'll be seeing more stickers from it as I share pages. 

    That's all for me this post as I need to head out to the lake for a morning of weed checking. Hope you have or are having a great start to the new week and month too.
