This journal page started as something so completely different…even the color scheme took a sharp left from pinks and greens to blue, brown and yellow. So strange when that happens. I try not to over think it…just let it happen. Besides…my indecision created some very wonderful background texture and interest. So yeah…I totally meant to do that! 
Freehand cut both the tree and bird from book page. The tree worked out ok but the bird needed a little something more. I glued my little bird to a scrap of handmade paper Elizabeth gifted me. Now she looked a bit more substantial but was still missing that pop I was looking for.
So I decided to cut a tiny wing for my tiny bird. Now she really is ready to fly!!
Linking up with Art Journal Journey today for In the Air.
What a fun first entry for Art Journal Journey, Halle. Your little birdie is truly adorable and looks perfect perched on the branch of that tree. It made me smile you used some of my hmp, too. Thanks for joining us with your fun journal page at Art Journal Journey.
Lovely art journal page ?
Simpy GORGEOUS Halle! Thank you for joining in at AJJ with this amazing page! Happy weekend! Susi
I adore this Halle. I think your indecision took you in the best direction. I think you are a smart artists because it seems letting the art take you where it wants to go creates the most interesting art. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
And I forgot to say thanks for joining us at Art Journal Journey!
An inspiring page. Thx for describing how you took your bird to a higher level :) Backgrounds are of particular interest to me right now, and this one is striking.
