Whoa…that sounds deeper than intended. I did find myself sitting down to create today and without even realizing it I uncovered something I hadn’t been thinking about…or at least admitting to thinking about.
I only intended to do the end of the first signature but there was too much and it spilled onto the next. Honestly I really like how it looks.
I’m thrilled with how this part turned out. It has a soft, vintage quality. I used my middle finger to paint the teal butterfly wings. Not too shabby for that occasionally naughty digit.
I used a bit of French grammar text to partially cover the Behr paint brochure then continued with the layers until I finally was happy and had said my piece.
Overlapping fold-outs are new for me but I really felt I wanted to add a bit of found text.
It about sums up my emotions. I know that this is the way of things…the next step…and I am so incredibly happy for both kids. But at the same time, I am mourning my time as a parent of “kids”. I guess empty nester syndrome was sneaking on in while I wasn’t looking.
EDIT: Linking up with AJJ for the Butterfly theme…thanks for the heads up Erika!
This is gorgeous Halle. I agree. I’m with you, it works really well. You should link this up at AJJ as this month’s theme is butterflies. Up to you of course. Glad you found some art time, and have a good week. Hugs-Erika
I agree with you: very nice! Butterflies are a happy subject, I think :)
This turned out great. Not only do I absolutely adore the butterfly on the left, I really like how you used the overlapping fold outs. That was both clever and tactile. Nicely done for Mia’s theme at Art Journal Journey, too.
Its a real beautiful page and I love the layers you added. A great piece for Mia’s theme over at Art Journal Journey.
