Journal Pages

Hi All. Hope you have had a good week and you are looking forward to the weekend. I am confined to indoors and doing very little as my cold turned to a chest infection I have antibiotics and been told by the doc to take things easy. Not my style at all so I thought I would do a bit of sneaky posting on my blog. Thank you for your visit and for the lovely comments. I have been able to read them on my i-pad as I haven't been on the computer for a while.

It is almost the end of my hosting month at Art Journal Journey and I want to say a big thank you for all the wonderful artwork that has been submitted for the challenge and getting to know more of you so much better during the month. Also a very big thank you to Susi and Valerie for having me as their host again.

I have two pages I prepared earlier before I got the bug so thought I would post them today even though you still have time to join in for the rest of January. I may have to be a good girl and stay quiet for a few days.


Distressed ink background. White and black pen and cutout shapes


A bit of this and a bit of that and a poem I made up. Hardly Shakespeare I know but I haven't been well lol.

Enjoy your weekend, I'm off to sit really quiet and draw some inchies.

Love Chrissie xx

    So sorry to hear you are unwell... Cestina is just recovering from a horrid chest infection, still hacking away at times. Take good care of yourself.

    Very glad you managed to share these pages though - they are a lovely finale to an amazing month's worth of Winter Wonderlands.

    Your journal pages are really lovely
    AND what a wonderful poet you are too Chrissie!
    Take care of yourself.
    Slowing down is hard but worth it in the long run.
    Thank you for a very inspiring theme for January along with all of your lovely artwork and the time it took you to visit everyone and comment (which was alot!!!)

    Please get better soon, Chrissie. I know how long it can take to get over these nasty bugs that seem to get to us in winter.

    Speaking of winter, I have so enjoyed your hosting this month, and love the two winter entries you saved for us. Since I'm such a big fan of trees, I love them both. Your poem is truly lovely, too. I'm genuinely impressed with yet another facet of your abilities.

    Both of your pages is wonderful Chrissie. I love the smiley snowflakes in the top one and the trees are very wonderful in the second one. They are really fun trees- anything to make the dead of winter a little more whimsical is good. Hope you feel better SOON!

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 ...
