Lots of things with eyes

My page today for my   AJJ 'anything with eyes    theme started with dictionary pages pasted in my a5 journal followed by a layer of gesso, then I drew my lady in T-shirt and coloured with Reeves Gouache and coloured pencils. Quote by Mark Twain.





And more extra eyes... I have some really old fabric paints to use up so I thought I would  stencil a face on to an unloved old T-shirt


final result after adding some extra glitter fabric paint and extra hair on top. For some reason this looks like T-shirt is beige instead of pale yellow.


and yesterday was the start of our annual 2 day air show - I just watched again from our garden
Spitfire and Hurricane

some 'Pitt planes' drew a lovely smiley face in the sky - the planes are not shown as they were so high up and too small to see.

There wasn't too much wind and the face stayed in the sky for a while





hope to see you there :)
OK that's all from me for today I'm off to watch more planes...
Thanks for stopping by...
Happy Friday - hope you have a great weekend.

  2. I LOVE your quote and the eye is certainly right on track for fitting with your theme at AJJ, dear Gill. Mark Twain knew how to look at things from a different perspective, didn't he?

    It's great you can see the air show from your garden. Darling smiley face.

    The lady on your tee is incredible. You draw SO well. Thanks, too, for being such a great host this month at Art Journal Journey. You sure made my job easier.
