A Second Look on the Second of April

April 02, 2016

This month I'm sharing a second look at a journal page I did.....way back in 2012.

New art journal page.

Hope everybody had a creative weekend. The DH and I took the "playhouse" out for a maiden trip over the weekend. We went up to Tehacahpi, a small mountain township about an hour from here. Kids and Grand kids came up and spent Saturday night with us. While waiting for them to arrive I got out my art journal and started playing. I drew it first with a black felt pen. I used some water color felt pens to color it in, then took a damp paint brush and ran the colors outward, crating the background colors. Once it was dry I add a few more details, like the stitching marks, loops around the flowers and some curly cues. It was a rather quick and easy page to do and I really enjoyed the quiet time before the troops arrived.

Thanks for stopping by for a second look.

It sounds ideal - sitting in your playhouse crafting while waiting for your family to arrive. Hope you had a wonderful time and your page is beautiful Krisha. Such beautiful colours. Barbxx

I had to read this twice, but the phrase "maiden trip" gave it away that this was truly a second look at a post from the past. This is wonderful and I'm always amazed at your doodles and felt pen coloring. This is probably a very good choice for travel, too. No glue to spill and nothing that needs to be adhered. It's a wonderful page.

So glad you took time to share this wonderful second look on the 2nd. It was definitely new to me.
