Just a couple of art journal pages I did this week.

First one...... bird cut from a magazine

The picture on this one is from a piece of junk mail received from Chase Visa. I copied it onto regular old printer paper

Of course, I love the bird and the clock behind him. The Visa picture is great with the quote. I really like the way you blended the picture into the background. Did you fussy cut around the buildings or paint the background over it to blend in?

[pugmom]

Well, first I painted the background, tore around the top of the picture and glued it on. Then I fiddled around with the background some more and totally ruined it. So I gessoed over all but the picture and re-did the background and kind of dry brushed over the top edge of the picture.

Thanks, Sue, that sounds about like what I would do especially the ruining part! It turned out well in the end!

Great pages Sue. I really like the second one as it reminds me of our trip to Venice.

[Debbie J]

Great pages, Sue!! I like them both.

Beautiful pages!
Gesso is like an eraser in a bottle. One I use quite a bit...

Love the pages, as always. You do such beautiful work. I pulled an eagle page out of a magazine that I want to do. I thought about doing it on the tissue paper like you did the wolf whenever I get a new printer (mine bit the dust), but I like this one too. I love the quote on the second one and you picked such a great image for the quote.
