The old saying "Two heads are better than one" is the quote for today's journal. Simple? Well, that is what I thought until late last night when I realised I had not done it - again ... A quick coat of yellow ochre paint on my journal page, with a touch of white brushed on randomly at the top and off to bed, back aching a bit. Better not to push it.
Up this morning and a new day! Looking at all my figures already cut out I decided on the girl with the big head and two smaller figures. Putting the single figure at one side and the two together at the other I began with my lettering. This time I was in a hurry so didn't even look at the printed quote - just tried to do lettering similar to that of the past two weeks. Just need to do a few more and maybe practice when I am watching tv or something. I found a graph paper tiny book - ideal for doing just that in.
So that was my "two heads are better than one" quote - but something was missing. There was a gap between the two figures on the left and the one on the right and it needed something. I should have arranged my lettering better, done it bigger. So what can I do? A dog! A dog will fit in that space and it will make the page more cohesive. Then looking through my dogs I thought "why did I not think of this earlier - a dog with two heads, instead of a tail he could have another head." And so my page now has a dog with two heads as well.
So we could weave a story around the three girls out walking and the dog but instead of me doing it I will leave it to you my friends.
Oh, and I put some stitching around the page and the cross stitch stamp in orange randomly stamped here and there to let me include my journal page in Art Journal Journey where you could do something similar if you followed the link. Go on, you know you want to.
