Art Journal Everyday

Hey, hey!

With any luck I am on my to The Paperie's Spring Retreat.  It's kinda funny to call it a "spring" retreat because it's been snowing for a couple of days but today is whole lot of rain blech!

So, with sunshine on my mind, here's my page.

I love this page. The quote is from the Nana Mouskouri song,  Turn on the Sun - maybe you know it?  My parents had one of her albums and we used to listen to this song all the time when I was little.  For some reason, when I made this page I couldn't get those lines out of my mind so I went with it.

I used Adirondack Color Wash and water to get the tone on tone effect.  I love all the texture. Those dots came from my paper towel when I was blotting off excess water.  Neat, huh?

Here's a close up.

Fingers crossed we get some actual sunshine here soon.

I hope you have a creative and sunny weekend!

      sadly, there was no sunshine. at least I didn't have to feel guilty about staying inside the whole weekend! we did see it today though and it was lovely.
