Inchie and journal pages

Happy start of the week everyone who calls in and thank you for your visit. It was great to see I have now reached 150 followers but to have any at all is always a good feeling. I am so lucky to have visitors every time I post something.

At Every Inchie Monday this week we have crow as the subject. I should know plenty about those birds as we have loads near to where we live. Now we have starlings nesting under our roof tiles at the front of the house and the back as well. I guess they are trying to hide from the crows, seagulls and magpies that try to steal their eggs.


More Mixed Media have Anything Goes with an option to use yellow.


Definitely mixed as I designed the black and white background in Paint Shop Pro with some brushes that I had made then I printed it out. I used white pen as a highlighter and some colour with Promarkers. Next I cut out flowers from a seed catologue and also drew flowers here and there to fill in the spaces on the pages. Thanks for the idea of the flowers Valerie always inspiring to visit your blog.

Enjoy your day

Love Chrissie xx

    The crow inchie is gorgeous, I love the crows, even if they are noisy and greedy! Your journal spread is fantastic, love the flowers, and thanks so much for joining us at More Mixed Media, great. I have bees on my balcony just now, so am trying to get them removed! Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

    Its a beautiful journal spread Chrissie, The flowers were a super idea as well, but I really loved the background you created and the super words you added.
    The crow inchie looks great, its wood pigeons that make the most noise for us. At least its a soft noise and not as penetrating as the crows call.

    We have heaps of crows too! Noisy pests in my opinion & they are always dive bombing the buzzards in our neck of the woods grrr.....I'm sure our inchies are all far nicer birds than the real ones!

    I always love your inchies, and the crow is no exception. It definitely looks like one.

    I thought your spread was wonderful. I think those flowers add a special charm. It made the spread stand out.

    Have a super day.

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
