Journal Page and Inchie

Hi All and happy new week to you. Thank you for calling in today and for the lovely comments you leave here for me.

Art Journal Journey have the theme If You Go Down in the Woods. (Just had to change to the Journey word as I always seem to type Journal Journal) I wonder if anyone else does that?

As Vic and me always seem to seek out woodland walks I have made us into the Green Man and the Green Woman


I changed this photograph to black and white then colour, spray painted it in Paint Shop Pro


Every Inchie Monday  has Spaceship as the theme this week

A bit simple but I based it on one my son made from a kit in 1970s

Have a great week everyone

Love Chrissie xx

    Good idea to change and colour on the own photo. You made it very clever and it looks so nice.
    The inchie is just great.
    Have a happy day xx

      Sadly no more a mother to a son as he died in 1999 Susi but wonderful and very happy memories for me.

      Love Chrissie xx

    That is sooo cool - who would have thought to use a photo and recolour it and adapt it - I love it and the wording too. Your inchie is a super idea, brings back memories of the hyped up space era of the 60's and 70's.

    I like the collage you made and I remember my brother making a "spaceship" like that one too :)

    A fabulous alteration of one of your beautiful photos. Mr and Mrs Greenman look like they are enjoying a day out.
    A super inchie Chrissie, and a lovely memory for you to have.

    I love the work that you do with PSP I am jealous of all the work you do with it. I also love the inchie it is so '70's

    Lovely picture, the transformation is both fun and creative. Nice idea to include your son's artwork on the inchie for a very personal touch.

    Nicely collaged woodland scene arranged with such interesting wildlife! Sorry to hear of your son. I remember building the various 3-D paper puzzles, especially the lunar landing module with all its fiddly little bits. That was soooo 1969! Have a brilliant day! Cheryl

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
