Art Journal Geometric Shapes

Good Morning, Thank you for inspiring me to get my journal out of mothballs, it's been a long time but I've really enjoyed getting messy.

I found this book when I was cleaning my craft room, I bought quite a few years ago, It's very good and shows all different types of mixed media.

I've had some vintage maps I bought years ago online and when they arrived I realised, as often is the case, that they weren't exactly what I imagined! They only had a few maps in the pack and I think they are in Dutch, perhaps Lisca can enlighten me!

It gave me the idea to use the maps as a journal page to show how we all link up around the world every Tuesday for "T" Day, I painted the BG with chalk paints, Sage and Vanilla, some gold stenciling and a small amount of glass beads but I left them white so they don't show up too well unfortunately.

I had the DP with tea cups on so I fussy cut them out and glued them around the Circles with the maps inside, I'm not sure if the world maps are at the correct angle, re North and South, I'm sure you will be able to overlook that!! I drew dotted lines around the maps and added wooden planes showing us all flying around to visit each others T Parties.

I actually had fun but had to stop myself before I went a step too far, as I do sometimes when making greetings cards!

Hope you are all well and keeping Safe, thank you so much to everyone who came to visit last week and left encouraging comments, it was very much appreciated. Jan x
