Journal Page

Hello Everyone. A bit late in the day for me to post but I was out for a walk and then felt cold and tired when I got back as it had started to snow and even looking at it made me feel cold. Thank you for calling in.

At Art Journal Journey the theme of Inspired by the Masters is coming to an end with only 2 days left until the next challenge.


I always love the Chinese scrolls and I found this artist online so thought I would try one in his style

Ju Chao, a native of Panyu or Guquan. He was the older brother (or cousin) of the painter Ju Lian. He wrote "Poems of Shouxie Shi"  and "Yanyu Ci" 
Born: 1811
Died: 1865
Siblings: Ju Lian

I dyed some pieces from my old vertical blinds then stamped on them with two stamp sets I have had for a long time but not sure who they are by as I didn't used to keep them in their packages at the time. Then I coloured then with Promarkers anf stuck them onto a journal page in the style of the artist.

Love Chrissie

    I paged down to see your artwork as I thought the first (and only) photo was the Chinese original.
    Superb Chinese art tribute, love the little bird singing at the top of the tree and the pink blossom.

    Your AJJ pages this month have been wonderful, Chrissie - and this one is no exception. Beautiful "silk panels" and your stamping and colouring captures the look perfectly.

    I don't know anyone else who would have thought of, and been able to, make something so beautiful out of their old blinds. This 'masters' challenge has been great for you - I've loved seeing what you've done.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
