Inchie and Journal Page
Hello to my Friends and Followers-always great to have you pop in to Jumbled Crafts.
This week at Every Inchie Monday the subject to get to grips with is 'found'.
Well this I what I 'found' when I was sorting out by button tin. It is a 1957 sixpence. It must have been in the tin for a very long time or have been in amongst a bag of buttons I bought a couple of years ago at a car boot sale. I never checked what was in the bag I just emptied it into the tin with all the other buttons.
At Art Journal Journey this time the theme is Light and Dark. There are some wonderful entries to the challenge already and some very deep thinking ones with the light and dark personalities or shadows. Afraid mine is just simple :(
My inspiration came from nature as, even when the sky darkens, the light flowers shine brightly in our garden. Susi always says to express ourselves in our work and I feel that this is 'me'. It is painted in acrylics with cut-out shapes painted over for the flowers, then removed to use the paint afterwards on the spaces left by the shapes.
Have a wonderful day all
Love Chrissie x

How lovely to see a sixpence again and all those happy memories of finding sixpence in the Christmas pudding. There's also an AA Milne poem about finding sixpence which I remember from my childhood. Fabulous!
ReplyDeletelove the inchie, what a great idea. Never thought about that. I love the colors of the journal page as well very pretty
ReplyDeleteA very nice find. Brilliant idea. Thinking what to do I had my button box in my hand but put it back because I didn't find something special.
ReplyDeletePinky and Perky spring to mind with your sixpenny find :) and I hope your not saying your simple ! beautiful page :)

Lovely to see a sixpence again! I have some and even some silver threepenny pieces along with old pennies, ha'pennies,shillings & half crowns...I think the is even a farthing in there somewhere! Seem to recall that most of them come out of my gran's button tin that I inherited (it was my childhood treasure box)

I've not seen a sixpence, so that was fun.
ReplyDeleteI think you are expressing yourself more and more beautifully everyday, Chrissie. Keep it up. I hope you are as pleased with your growth, as I am to see it.
Sending love and hugs your way,
