Art Journal Journey - King Crow

This is a page in my Pan Pastel Journal.  To begin with I scrunched up some tissue paper, opened it up smoothing out but leaving some creases evident and then stuck down two pieces.  Next I coloured all over the page with various Pan Pastels in blue, green, yellow and pink allowing the colours to overlap in places making a secondary colour.

Then I began stamping various images - with the bird from Tim Holtz being just off centre and a crown on his head.  Clock face stamps are by Non Sequitur as is the branch which I thought, at first,  looked very much like lightening in the sky, and as are the birds.  All others are Tim Holtz stamps.

Using an eraser I made a circle in the sky to represent a sun or is it a moon?.


This is my entry into Art Journal Journey where I set the challenge "It Must Have Wings" for this month.  I do hope you can join in with something that has wings - I have given you some ideas if you check the home page of AJJ.

What a great page Neet. I haven't used pan pastels in a long time, and they certainly do work great to color your page. and I like how you erased them. I especially like the crumpled paper too. Wow, it adds such a nice texture. This is a beauty Neet, and why you make such a good host at AJJ. hugs-Erika

Another GREAT entry, Neet. Love this collage. I have trouble with pan pastels as they rub off on my arm when I am not extra careful. You did great and made a magical page. Thanks for sharing this at AJJ using your theme.
