Art Journal Pages~ Beverage Edition

Some art journal pages for Elizabeth's T party

on Tuesday...visit Altered Book Lover to

see what it's all about!

Above, you may notice a collage (on the right)

 that I previously made for T Tuesday.  

I glued it across the gutter of two pages in 

one of my journals.  I added another 

tea bag wrapper in yellow, and the 

actual tea bag. I was delighted when

the tag was pink!

I also added some sparkly lemonade on the left--

literally sparkly. It is from a Valentine that a dear

friend sent...and also is a lovely pink!

I repeated the design from the security envelope

paper (in the collage) by drawing more of

 the 'hash marks' onto the pages.

 Repeating a design element

helps unify the pages.

Above, a page that sat for months

with only the bird glued to the page.

The kleenex box leaves seemed to work,

and the page came together...

Below, a collage from ephemera--

most of which I did not draw.  I 

added the white cloud and some of

the black flowers. Stickers and 

scraps of printed images make 

quick collage.

Above and below, a sketch of a bluebird from a

photo in Birds and Blooms magazine...

This page also sat for months with just the

bird drawing on it.  For this, I think it 

waited until I had scraps in the 'right' colors

before I was ready to finish it...

The Wrap-Up is posted on

Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal

for my Fake Journal 2014.

Hope you will stop by...

and

hope your day is

EXTRA SWEET!
