Wisdom Art Journal Page

By -
I've used an image from Ikes Art called Athena for this journal page.  I have occasionally been said I can be wise and for some reason I felt the image matched a quote about wisdom because Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom.  I've used part of a quote I hear often "they say wisdom comes with age"  I've then used something I believe as a quote too. 

"I believe it comes from experience.  Learning from our own and others mistakes".

This means that someone of any age can be wise, they just need to observe, learn and be open minded so they can see things from every perspective and be able to see the logic and reasoning in a perspective that at first they may not want to agree with.  

I also want to talk about the products I have used.  I don't normally talk much about products other than to say that I love them.  This time I love the effect but I don't really love the product.  After much searching I realised that the new pixie powder from Cosmic Shimmer is essentially Mica Powder with a new name and in a new style pot.  The idea is to "puff" it out and it sprinkles everywhere.  This doesn't happen it comes out in large amounts and you can't get it back in so it's just a waste.  The colours are fabulous and it gives a great watercolor effect but I can get that by using brushos and adding mica powder for sparkle.  All in all I prefer the old Mica Powder!

    WoW ! That's gorgeous Sall and I definitely agree with your saying :-) I love the effect you got with the powders. I have never used them but they sound as if they would go everywhere and on me LoL
    Thank you very much for using one of my images.

Christmas in June feels late to me, I normally start prepping for Christmas around New Year’s Eve!   When I first saw this image the first thing I thought of was to print it as large as possible and decorate it as a cone angel I used to make as a child.   Then I calmed down and thought about it and decided to go with a scrap page…the only minor problem is I can’t seem to stop singing Angels from the realms of glory now!   Okay I’ll stop waffling now but I have some questions later if You would be so kind as to point me in the right direction please?  This is to be entered in to Ike's Challenge To make this page I used: Gold Glitter Iridescent Gold H2Os Gold H2O’s Silver and gold mirri card Christmas cuttlebug embossing folder Mini tiny mini beads Ribbon I printed cut to size and glued together in the weird shape my Christmas angel and tree photos, then matted them on silver mirri card.   I used the cuttlebu...

One Stitch At A Time {OSAAT} Challenge 236 Anything Goes Special Lady

This is my first post for One Stitch At  A Time {I’m am so honoured to be allowed to cover for Nataliya whilst she takes a holiday} and I wanted it to say something about me as well as the theme for the challenge. The theme this fortnight as One Stitch at a time  is anything goes with special lady.  Now I have a few of those in my life, however recently one person has shown me just what a special lady they are through helping me when things got tough.  I send her happy mail a lot and she gets a special birthday card but when it comes to Christmas…the sheer number of cards to be made and sent at the same time means she generally gets a boring handmade card.  I saw the OSAAT challenge theme as a good way to show her how special I think she is at Christmas. I’ve chosen to use the pilbury snoboy image because the snowman is baking and I love to bake and share cakes {because I’m not that fussed about eating cakes}.  It also shows how I’d love to bake fo...

The beauty of death

Gosh here I am blogging again...this time it's a "dark" art journal page.  I love doing these I just sit and play and see what happens.  There's something natural about dark craft that appears to my soul begging for freedom.  I lost track of time and it was only several hours later I emerged ravenous and realising Nan had slept for far too long...tonight I fear could be bad! I've used images from  Ikes Art  to create this page about the beauty of death.  I was really excited when I discovered it was to be a "dark" image over at Ike's Facebook Group challenge this month, I just don't see the "darker" images and creations around much. To make this I've used a background of distress crayons, the tree is made using novou mousse, the leaves are brushos, the mushrooms are stamped as are the bugs from various Hobby Art  stamp sets.  The quote is one I thought of suddenly at the end of the project and is written by me.  It reads: ...
