1st Challenge

This is the 1st time I have entered a challenge. My friend Orange Esmeralda is hosting the "Art Journal Journey" and the theme is Sea.
This is my interpretation. " A garden under the sea"
I painted a selection of papers with dye and inks, glued them onto a background, in a random manner, overlapping them. Painted wooden coffee stirrers. Wrapped them as I stitched them to the background.
Bottom part I hand stitched some simple flower shapes. "A garden under the Sea"

This is not my usual way of working but I had fun.















 Hope you like my "garden"

    This is just so perfect.
    Wonderfully painted papers with dyes and inks, cleverly wrapped coffee stirrers, the sweet little fishes and their delightful embroidered garden - what could be better?
    Thanks very much for making this for "The Sea", it's a superb piece for the theme.

    I think if I do one again I will stick to a journal page. It is after all a journal journey. It was fun to sit and do simple stitching and I have it hanging in my room
