Jeudi Journal - Well Behaved

Another already done background - thank goodness.  This time it was kind of out of doors with a leaf border stencil running up the two short sides with a little along the bottom left and some individual branches across the top.  

I realised I never have used the large head with a different body so I thought I would try it with a lying down figure - and it worked.  Different - for me that is.  Luckily I had already drawn a neck on that particular figure so the head went on just fine.


I felt it needed something else and so I looked at the Dylusion flowers but most of them are rather large so I chopped them in half and just used them along the bottom and up one side.  Oh, and I added a little buzzy bee on one of the flowers, can you spot him?

I am once again entering this into Art Journal Journey where the theme is "Eyes".  Doesn't my lady outline hers so well!

What a fun page Neet - and yes, her eyes are rather dramatic! Love your bee, I spotted it :)

Lovely, she looks very relaxed in her garden and probably gets up to mischief later. She's been doing nothing for so long a spider has made it's home on her head. I must remember to move a lot, I loathe spiders. Hugs Wendy x

Thanks for sharing this with AJJ Neet - I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your entries this month and the stamps you have been using.
Once again this page and the quote made me smile..she is wonderful, love the eyes and as for the bee - its sadly like a real garden with hardly any bees any more.

What a fabulous use of that large head. It worked perfectly. It is so well done, and you still amaze me with your coloring, too. Your background is also wonderful. For some reason, it feel like movement. Thanks for sharing your wide eyed lady with us at Art Journal Journey, too.

I love the background - very much up my street! - and your sun-lounging woman looks very contented with her misbehaving lifestyle. Clever stuff with the half-flowers, abundance without crowding out the central character!

I really love how you use Dylusion stamps - she looks fabulous!
You could try another Aldi! We just happened to go in two at the weekend - loads in one and just a couple left of the larger size in the other! Good Luck!!! Hugs, Chrisx
