17 Days of Green: Day 11

For Day 11 I decided to try creating a leprechaun's house....there the little fellow is...dancing on the roof! I added some moss for a three dimensional look too!

17 Days of Green: Day 10

I used those little colored bears....only because the colors made me think of a rainbow...they are sort of interesting though. This page is a combination of modern (bears) and the ancient (sand design and old page from a journal). It remind me that Ireland is a mixture of a modern and ancient. I am of Irish ancestory and have always wanted to visit Ireland but alas have not had the pleasure of doing so!

17 Days of Green: Day 9

Day 9....I thought about all the folklore and "magic" associated with St. Patrick's Day and Ireland....so hence this page. As I mentioned in an early post this little project is stretching my imagination. I am looking for ways to have the "essence" of Ireland or St Patrick's Day present on each page and yet use a variety of materials and techniques.

17 Days of Green: Day 8

I love this little cottage and I was thinking about how awesome it would be to live in a place like this....then I started thinking about working on those flower beds....lol.

17 Days of Green: Day 7

I decided to do a mandala page....I added the shamrocks because the page seemed sort of "empty". I used sharpies but they didn't work as well on the painted page as they do a regular page. I also used the metallic markers. They worked great!

17 Days of Green: Day 6

For this page I started out sort of collaging on bits and pieces. I didn't really like the way it looked so I picked up a bottle of green glitter paint at Walmart. It certainly did the trick.....I like it a lot better with the glitter paint.

17 Days of Green: Day 5

As I posted earlier, I didn't want to but a lot of material for this journal but when I was in the Dollar Tree I found some window clings. There are quite a few on the sheet. I wondered in they might work in the art journal because for a dollar....they were cheap enough. So here's one of the little lerprecahun guys and he worked just fine. He almost looks like a rub on. I modge podeged under and over him!
