Anti Journal Pages and a Little Flutter

Hello there :D 


You are there aren't you?
I missed last weeks post - in fact I missed most of last week full stop! I was plagued by migraines, having two a day on some days. Very bizarre, and very annoying. They take over everything. Every action, every thought.
But, this week is clear! Huzzah!! 

Now, onto business.
I have several of my Anti Journal pages I could share with you and have had a time of it trying to decide which to share today, *scratches chin thoughtfully*

In the end I decided to go with the two pages that are my most recent favourites.

The prompt for the first page was,
Bleed colours; place under a dripping tap
But seeing as there was a sudden heavy downpour yesterday whilst I was flicking through my journal I quickly cut out this page, splodged some acrylic paints on it and shoved it out onto the back door step
And this was the result;
tho' not the punched out shapes, you realise, lol :-D
The paint hadn't moved around as much as I'd hoped considering the rain was quite heavy, but it's ok.

I set the page to dry over night and then used a black marker to go back over the outline of the tap and the wording.
You may, (or may not), be wondering why I have some holes in the page.
Well, check out the second page I'm sharing, which just happens to be the reverse of this page.

Design by removing parts of this page
I used a large butterfly punch and then outlined them with oil pastels, smudging them a little with my fingers.

I hope you like my Anti Journal pages for this week and have time to visit Carolyn and Karen to see what they have been doing in their Wreck it journals.
________________________________

Now, for those of you who have been following my caterpillar adoptions *grin* I apologise for the late posting of the release photos - I hope my 'sick note' above will absolve me.
Here are the pictures I managed to take - it was quite difficult doing it one-handed; Wee Man's only concession to being so close was to hold the flap open for me, lol
They flew away so quickly I only got a glimpse and no footage. Wee Man was amazed. Not enough to want to touch them, but quite happy for them to go.

Also,
you may be interested to know that I got some more a few days ago and they are doing very well and growing just as rapidly as the first 'brood' :-D


Now, I shall love you and leave you and thank you for your visit.
Do take care won't you, and be happy
{{Hugs}} Mo :o)) x

  1. Sorry to read you have been plagued by migraines, they are terrible and so debilitating i can empathise. So glad you are on the up and up!

    Your pages are fantastic i love the idea of you opening the back door and shoving your paper outside, must try that. The results are astounding and definitely something to smile about. The cut outs look fantastic too.

    THANK YOU for getting some pictures of the beautiful butterflies you have released and i am so glad we get to see some more in a few weeks time.

    Take care Mo :-) xxx

  10. Glad you are back to your sunny self! xoxo I hate when they come in waves like that! Have you tried peppermint or lavender essential oils? They help me somewhat, just dilute with a carrier oil any cooking oil (without a heavy scent to it). I add a few drops of cooking oil to a tiny bowl then shake in several drops of the oil and apply it to my temples, throat and back of my neck and even the forehead. Then I eat a square or two of dark chocolate (72% or so). Caffeine seems to help, if you like sodas drink a glass of that with the chocolate.

    I l-o-v-e the pages you created with the help of rain,very clever!

  11. Thank you for your comment on my CB calendar post, and the link for the update on your butterflies! Unfortunately, I think I pressed the wrong button, because your comment has disappeared and I can't find where it's gone! Anyway, good to catch up (!) with the butterfly bulletin! Now going to go to your next post!
