Jeudi Journal - Wine

The words for today are "Of course size matters.  no-one wants a small glass of wine".  And it looks like our girl is using a tumbler!!  Oh my!  Must admit I struggled a bit with the story this week, but I think my head just isn't in the zone at the moment.  I've got a spot on my pupil and I need to see someone so I think it might be a visit to the optician today and possibly the hospital to have it removed.  I hate anything to do with my eyes so I am petrified.  How do you keep your eyes open whilst they prod at it?

Anyway to begin with I painted my page a pale turquoise and then used a stencil with some white paint to put chrysanthemum shapes randomly over it.  Then I chose the medium sized figures from Dyan Reaveley's collection and swapped heads and legs about on the two on the right to create new figures.  (For those who don't know Wendy and I have set a challenge between ourselves to make a page each week using Dylusion figures but as we have not had any new stamps for quite a while we are struggling to make new figures from what we have.). 

We also decided to enter our pages into the challenges at Art Journal Journey wherever we can and so, as the lovely Erika has chosen "faces" for the challenge this month we are managing quite easily to have a face on our page.  This is my entry this week.  So ...

"Pat had just got ready to go out with her friends Lynne and Gill, off to the local disco in town.  The two friends had just arrived and were rather surprised to find Pat with a large tumbler of wine on the table.  As they had a taxi waiting for them outside, which the two girls had arrived in, they were in rather a hurry to get off so that the driver would not be charging them too much 'idling time'.

"Come on" said Lynne, "we can't keep the taxi waiting whilst you finish off that wine.  And anyway, why on earth are you drinking wine from a tumbler?  You'll be putting weight on drinking like that, especially since all the Christmas Fayre you have eaten over the holiday period."

"Don't be silly" replied Pat, "Of course I have wine glasses, you bought me a set for Christmas and I didn't put them out at the party in case they got broken.  There's very little chance I will put any weight on, you know me, petite and slim at all times I can afford to put a bit of weight on."

"Too many a true word" butted in Gill, "Don't you think being so small size doesn't matter?"

"Of course size matters" said Pat laughingly as she drained the glass, "No-one wants a small wine."

"Uh ho, I can see we are in for a fun night with this one" shrugged Gill as she made her way to the door.  "Come on you two before she pours herself another."
