Hello there. Here in New Hampshire it is going to be cold and windy today. They are saying that it could feel as cold as 10 degrees F or about -12 degrees C with the wind chill. Brrr. It is too early for it to be this cold, but at least I don't have to go out and can spend my day making art! And maybe finishing my book too.
I have another bird page for Wendy's challenge at Art Journal Journey as well as day 18 of Leah's Art Everyday Month.
I think these chickens are having a really interested bird conversation. Who knows what bird conversations are about however.
The background was made with some Pouring Paint. Back on one of the Amazon Prime days in October, Amazon had this paint on one of their lightning deals. I noticed it and decided that I wanted to give it a try.
It is always nice to have something new to play with.
When it arrived, I spent a morning playing with it on some watercolor papers, but darn, I forgot to take a photo of this background before I covered it over.
In case you aren't familiar with pouring paint, this paint does move, but it is thick. Thick enough to add details into the paint also. On my bird journal page I used a round empty tape roll and made a bunch of circles. I also love how the paints don't blend together. So you can add all the colors you want and not end up with mud.
Here's another of my practice pages where I used a credit card to create the texture. And it doesn't take much paint either. I think this page is a bit blue for me, but I can go back and add more colors.
Anyhow, back to the chickens. I added a strip of partially punched dots to the left. The strip was laying on my work table, and it was time to do something. Then I added some paper tape, some stamped and fussy cut chickens, the stamped conversations they are having, and some die cut clouds and sun which are ancient Sizzix dies but still ones I like to go back too. I stamped the matching blue lines on the clouds, and added the hand drawn dots to outline the sun.
That's all for me today. Hope your week is going well!
