February Monthly Theme!

Please post your finished artwork in this discussion thread.

 

Please remember to use the picture icon above text box to add images and not the attachment below. (Click here for instructions on how to add an image to your post.)

 

This month's theme is:

FAVORITE SONG LYRICS OR POEM

There is something about the lyrics to song you can't get out of your head or a poem you keep returning to time and time again because it has a special place in your heart.

I can think of several!

For the month of February play with this theme and create a journal page or altered book to capture the spirit of a song or poem that you love. You can capture the actual words used, choose to only use some of them, or leave them out entirely and instead choose images to convey the theme.

You can also add colors, designs, patterns, and any other embellishments you want to add to further enhance your artwork.

(Interpret the theme any way you wish--there are no other requirements!)

 

Artwork and comments welcome from everyone!

Have fun!

Great theme! My pages are so random. I hope to start being neater and organized. I have different themed books that I did not stuck to the theme.... I have pages I write about life, then some have nothing but art work. All my art journals seem to turn into junque journals.

Valerie this is fabulous work! I especially like the middle image, with the birch trees. I really like how you composed this with the prayer border. What a peaceful and serene scene you have created with the warm colors for the background, rather than going with the traditional blues and greens for sky colors.

This journal could easily be displayed on a book easel and left open to these pages, as an open invitation to anyone passing by to rejoice. Beautiful work.

I don't think you have t worry too much about your journals following a theme. Mine don't! A journal is place to capture the moment, and this is always changing. I think of it as an opportunity to start fresh each time I open the cover of the journal and dive in. How does that sound?! ; >

With my little eye, I spy LOTS more art (altered) journals in the background!  Valerie - are all those yours, or are you in a group that passes them around?  BTW - Love your Round Robin.
