Jeudi Journal

Again Wendy's choice of topic - Bright and Beautiful - and this time she stipulated "Rainbow" for the colours.  Not quite sure what she meant and not a clue why I did not email her to ask, I went along with a pink and yellow background that had a bit of grey in it that was already done in my journal.  I just liked the colours I had used but have not a clue what the shades are or whose paints they were.

Remembering that 'Richard of York Gave Battle In Vain' I wrote down the initial letters of the mnemonic on a scrap of paper and chose ink pads according to them all, stamping small background shapes all over, finishing with a Violet wall at the base.  This was to stand my "Mirror" on so that I could use the words "Mirror, mirror on the wall ..." although most people would expect it to be a nicely painted wall of a house and not a brick wall.

Then I used my newest Dylusion rubber stamps (bought in the sale at Art from the Heart) when I was last over.  I used the glass dome on the set with a few bits cut off to represent my mirror.  Remember me winning a Black Journal that trip?


I really enjoyed making this page.  Hope you enjoyed looking at it.
