Well, the end of September saw the first posting out of all the journals in the circle journal/round robin. And we've had our first casualty - a journal that lost its way between Canada and Australia :(
Nevertheless, we are soldiering on, having come up with a solution, so here is my take on the doors and windows theme. We each have two goes in each journal and each journal has a different theme.
The door on the left is a postcard of artwork by Kim Nelson. The door on the right may be familiar to some of you from a previous post. It is from Wakehurst Place in West Sussex, UK. This is a transfer of the photo using transfer artist paper. I did some journalling under the postcard.
My second take on the theme I wanted to do something on windows, having done doors. The phrase kept going through my head so I went with it. When I'd painted the face I felt there was something missing - the eyes weren't highlighted enough, so I put a 'window' around them.
This journal will be travelling to Monique in the Netherlands next.
I will be linking with Artists in Blogland (button in the sidebar) for their new Scavenger Hunt Challenge which is also doors and windows.
Beautiful pages and it sounds like a great idea.

What a wonderful idea the window to the soul!
ReplyDeleteFor Round Robin I hope that the journal had just decided to take a circuit.and will show up soon.
Both very inventive interpretations of the theme. I like the way you have highlighted the doors and linked them to make a cohesive image and added areas of interest - I love this doors one. And I too like the idea of the window around the eyes to highlight them as the windows to the soul.
