This week the quote is "Life is a zoo never feed the Monkeys". Now we know that this, kind of refers to a video voyageur simulator, where you watch strangers through surveillance cameras invading their private lives without any interaction with them. What would happen if you fed the monkeys? (actually I didn't but I looked it up and this is what it said)
But, no chiropractor at the moment means my back is bad so what I do craftwise is of a minimum and my page this week was painted first of all in Titanium Buff and then when it had dried I used a fairly dry brush to push some colour across, Yellow Ochre, and again when that was dry added some Burnt Sienna in the same way. I quite liked the effect of the broken lines but it needed something else so I used a stencil and put some green leaves up one side and a little across the top to give the effect of it being out of doors. Then it got left until yesterday - when the back was bad.
Still it needed something so I used Scattered Straw DI to add some circles all over the remainder of the page but it didn't show up at all - can you see them? So then I added some diamonds in Fossilized Amber DI just randomly across the page. Still very faint but they are ... subtle???
Two figures came next, one a young girl in a pretty spring dress and the other a rather fierce looking Monkey in a suit with a sign over the top of his head. And so it was finished - just added the quote and all was done.
Oops, just seen Art Journal Journey have Geometric Shapes as the theme for the new month. Pity the circles don't show but I think Diamonds are still Geometric Shapes, aren't they? Will try to join in Valerie's challenge with this page.
