This week our quote which we have to marry to Art Journal Journey's challenge is "I love to cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food" sometimes if we are doing a special meal and cooking it together we have a glass "for the cook" ie we both have a glass of wine. Does that ring a bell?
In my story today we have Clarissa who is sat down wearing darkened glasses when her friend calls. Effie, het friend, wonders what on earth Clarissa is doing sitting on the floor with her back to the chair.
"What is the matter - and why are you sitting on the floor?" she asks.
"Oh, nothing I felt a little woozy and so I sat down, but I missed the chair and ended upon the floor. It's quite comfortable to be honest and I find it good for my back to have the chair behind me."
"Oh dear" said Effie, "Do you think you need to see a doctor? I mean having dizzy spells at your age isn't good."
"No, no need to panic" replied Clarissa, "I love to cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food. Maybe I drank a little too much this time."
Effie looked worried, it wasn't like her friend to drink to that extent, maybe she should see a doctor but if she wouldn't go there was not much she could do about it. "I'll just keep an eye on her over the next few weeks" she said to herself. "Shall I put the kettle on and we can both have a nice cup of tea?"
This was a page in my square Pink Pig Journal that had Gesso or some kind of modelling paste pushed through a stencil or two in various places on its surface so I just went over with DO's Cracked Pistachio to reveal what was underneath, looked like a bit of a mish mash of stencils so I left it. I wanted to find a wine bottle or label inn my stash and came across this for Vermouth. It fit quite nicely in the gap and so that was my journal page finished for this week.
Think I had had a bit of wine when I put the quote on at the top. It's a bit skewwy!
