+Journal 52 is a fun way to join a community of artists that are working from a prompt to create a weekly art journal page.
This week the Art of Love Letters is the prompt that inspired my journal page.
Valentine: There is no other... that can make my heart flutter
I placed a hand made butterfly sitting on some silk flowers, exploding from a paper heart.
The heart was made of an old grocery bag, lined with a rose print tissue paper from a gift. It is torn from the middle and stuffed to make it puffy. I "stitched" the heart to the page with a black sharpie.
Journal edges are trimmed with scrap book paper on both sides.
The text is written on a painted background of pink, lavender and white, then trimmed with some fancy cut scrap book paper.
Love birds are cut outs from a +Tim Holtz idea-ology paper tablet. They are framed in a punched frame with a number 14, some lace, flowers and butterflies.
This journal, as with most of the pieces that I have been making, use bits and pieces of items that are recycled, reused, or picked up for a few pennies.
My advice is to use what you have and put it out there. This is a project to have fun with, learn from, and share with others.
When finished, these journals will mark a journey that will continue to inspire; not just ourselves, but others who have the opportunity to view them!
I am looking forward to next weeks prompt!
