Journal page and face

Hello Everyone. I am pleased to say that my MIL may be coming home either today and tomorrow and has made a remarkable recovery. She looked like a different person, when we visited yesterday, from the one who went into hospital just over a week ago. Thank you for your kind support and thank you for your visits to Jumbled Crafts.

The theme at Art Journal Journey is Autumn colours

I painted the background with various acrylics in Autumn shades then I added PVA and stuck on crushed Autumn leaves which I had collected and dried. Then I sprinkled on some gold  and it sparkles in real life though not on the photograph unfortunately. The quote I found on Google. I think maybe I should do some stamping here and there to fill in some spaces. 

At Kim Dellow I am still enjoying seeing all the faces that people add each week and trying to learn more about drawing faces and the different techniques.


I may have gone a bit way out with this face. It was a boy on a train listening to music. His eyes were far away and his red headphones seemed to just appear from no where through his hair. I used Promarkers for this. Think I still need L plates.

Have a great day all

Love Chrissie xx

    Very glad to hear the update on your MIL - what a relief for you all, and thank you for letting us know.

    What a stunning mixed media creation capturing the autumn golds perfectly - fabulous use of the real leaves. No need for L-plates on the faces - I think this is a stunning portrait. I absolutely see his faraway expression, caught up in the music, and the headphones peeking through the hair draw the eye in towards the face so cleverly. Really impressive.

    Wow, this is stunning Chrissie!! Thanks for all the kind comments you left for me while I was away, you are so sweet. It's been a long couple of months but I'm mostly settled in now so I've finally time to visit some of my favourite blogs. I'm sorry to hear your MIL was ill but I'm glad to hear that she is doing better. See you again soon, hugs :)

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
