This week must be Wendy's choice as I don't have the words for this one and the ones I chose were the ones I had words for.
"You made no dramatic gestures, gave no solemn lectures, you simply made the tea and fetched the biscuit tin" - phew! That was my original thought!! "Phew, what the heck can I do for this one?" Then this morning (yes, it was a VERY last minute journal page) I set to.
Last night I had been out for a meal which went on a bit longer than normal so all I had time to do was paint the page blue. This morning I got to thinking about it and:
- decorated the background with a stencil and Scattered Straw Distress Ink to represent the wallpaper (plus put some numbers down the side for AJJ)
- found two figures, not the ones I had originally thought about, but then the one I had wanted was one I only used last week, and hastily coloured the bits in that had not already been done
- researched some plaster flying ducks (thought it would create a bit of humour to have those ducks flying on the wall - visions of Coronation Street and Hilda Ogden)
- Found a picture of some biscuits (don't you just love those ginger biscuits with the dark chocolate on?), a teapot and a table.
It was finished and I did enjoy creating this one. Hope Wendy did too.
I have been very lax because of one thing after another and not been entering into Art Journal Journey but as it is words or numbers I am entering this one. Blame Christmas prep and health issues.
