Thankfully today we have yet another Journal Page for Art Journal Journey's theme as set by Aimeslee. I am glad I was working a week or two in advance. A lovely theme for the month of May because it is "Flowers" and what could be better as our gardens and the countryside are becoming a hive of colour.
So what do I need? A Tim Holtz Snarky Comment, some Dylusion figures, flowers, maybe a stencil or two ... and colour of some description. Oh, and a story to illustrate it all. Like this page?
Esme was at the same Gardens as Billy and Sam. In fact she was in the same class at school as young Sam. That was about as far as the similarities went with the two youngsters. Where Sam was kind and a thoughtful little boy Esme was a bit of a spoiled young madam.
In fact we find her just as she was being naughty. With total disregard for the beautiful flowers in the garden she was to be seen pulling flowers up and scattering their petals on the ground. "He loves me, he loves me not" she was chanting as she destroyed the pretty flowers.
Billy saw her and was rather taken aback to see what she was doing and so he shouted over to her.
"Hey, you mustn't pick the flowers, they are here for all to see and enjoy. What do you think you are doing?"
Esme turned, and looked in the direction of Billy, not a look of remorse or anything at having been caught destroying flowers. Haughtily she shouted back at him "I do this thing called what I want" and carried on picking at the petals of the daisy in her hand.
"Well", said Billy to Sam, "I think you might have a word with teacher on Monday and tell her just what we saw today. In fact you can write it up in your school diary for the whole class to see."
Samjust grinned.
