Art Journaling with ColourArte-Twinkling H20s

Hello fellow ColourArte-ists, and welcome back to more mixed media fun while I share another page in my fabric art journal.  I have always thought it would be fun to make an art journal from fabric, and boy, was I right!  If you missed my previous post, you can check it out by clicking here.

This month, ColourArte will be featuring Twinkling H20s!

   

I am continuing to work on my fabric art journal, and here is my next set of pages.  I love birds, and Spring is upon us, so I was inspired to make this page because I have a happy little bird who sings all day long in a tree in my backyard.  I am positive he is happy to have warm toes for a change.

  Here are a few closeups of the process for you, too.

I have a video to share my process with you.  The colors in the video are stronger than in person.  The still photos are more true in color.
