We Make Things. It is Fun.



Week 28 of the Documented Life Project 2015:
Time keeps on ticking...
I made some color copies of a journal page
I had painted of vintage bottles, cut them out
and glued onto this new page. In this
newer incarnation, I included
a Jim Croce song lyric.
Other painted papers, graph paper, and
 origami papers are also part of the collage.




For the second half of the Week 28 spread I used
some vintage illustrations from an old health textbook.

I love that this elementary school
 textbook presented arts and crafts 
as part of a balanced,
 healthy development - 

along with brushing your teeth! 
Watercolor and assorted papers 
and pen drawing complete the collage.





Week 39, "At this Moment..."
another collage with my own drawing of
a flower and clouds, painted papers, and stamping.
The bird image is a commercial rubber stamp,
and the leaf image is a stamp that I carved.




Enjoy Summer Fun...an Artist Trading Card
that I made earlier in the summer, just seemed
to fit here in this collage. It is taped hinge-style
on one side. Beneath the atc reads
"enjoy the now."

And I hope you are enjoying 
the now! Whether it's quiet moments
with friends and family, or exciting
new adventures!

  1. This is certainly lovely. I've used "Time in a bottle" twice in my Time AB, so it's a great entry. Yours is much lovelier than mine, though. You should enter this in the Art Journal Journey (link on my right sidebar) whose theme this month is Time.

    I wish it was cool enough to walk. By the time I water my herbs, I'm perspiring so hard, I can barely make it to the shower to cool off. I'm glad your temps and humidity are not getting you down.
