"Don't talk to me after coffee either" is the quote this week.
For this journal page I coloured the page light green at the top with a faint blue stencilled pattern over it. This was to represent wallpaper in the house so I purposely let it hit in some places and also changed the depth of ink I was putting through the stencil to get light and dark shades.
Next I hunted through some magazines to find something to do with 'coffee'. I cut out a platter of buns, found a milk jug and sugar bowl and put these on the page so that they rested on the light brown bit at the bottom, coloured and stencilled to represent floor covering.
I did feel that the lounging girl really was saying, with her body language, that she did not want anyone to talk to her - even when she had finished the coffee in her hand. The other figure who has just called in to see her is looking a little confused with a turn of her head.
Happily I can now include this page in my journal in Art Journal Journey where the challenge is to use "Green" in your work - wallpaper and clothing feature quite a lot of different shades of green, hurray!
