Dream a Little Dream

 How is everyone this week? Having good weather? I for one will only say that (as the snow continues to fall and temperatures plummet again) I am dreaming a little dream that we can get through one week without a snowy mess! Thanks so much to all of you for your healing thoughts about my recent health issues. Although things are not perfect I am feeling much better than I did.



 I managed yet another journal page inspired by  several techniques in Dina Wakley's book including the section on altering photos. Linking to Art Journal Every Day, Art Journal Journey (theme this month is "things with wings", and Paint Party Friday.

 Been working on a few St. Patrick's Day projects-just some ATCs and postcards. Here's a simple ATC:


The background is a gelli plate print. The rubber stamp is an old one (one of many) I inherited from a very dear old departed friend, who happened to be Irish :)  It's made by Ann-ticipations. Linking this to the Simon Monday Challenge Blog (theme is "just a hint of clover" ).

 I'm also beginning some sketches for the first class in Radiant Faces so I'll be sharing those  in my next post.

 Wishing everyone a happy, art filled weekend!

    I'm dreaming a little dream too - I would love to see the sun shine soon.
    I am always fascinated by all of your work. Each piece is so different and beautiful. I'm glad that you are feeling better and that you will get better and better each day.

    As the temp was 2 degrees this morning, I am dreaming of the coming week of 40's and maybe a 50 degree day!! No snow here, though, so that's a plus.

    Your artwork is always inspiring, Linda! Glad you are feeling better.

    Your winged lady is oh so lovely on your special background dear Linda!
    The sun is shining on our largest snowfall of the season also making the record for cold...but warmer weather is right around the corner...hope it finds you soon as well.
    Four day weekend for the kids this weekend.
    It is special how your friend lives on each time you use one of her stamps.
    Take care and Happy Weekend ♥

    Dina's books are a great source if inspiration for me too. Haven't tried this technique yet but will do so soon. Glad you are feeling better but sorry about all that snow. Here it begins to feel like Spring might make her arrival very soon.

    Love your art. I'm singing: I'm dreaming of a green Easter, to the tune of White Christmas! As soon as we get rid of a snowfall or sometimes before it's gone, here comes another wave of the white stuff. Everyone around here seems depressed with the cold and confinement.

    Fun, fun, fun! I love both of these. And I'm intrigued by the gelli printed background. I've got a gelli plate I've not used yet. I might have to get it out soon... xoxo
