You are probably looking at this journal page wondering what food has to do with this.
Seafood is very popular at Christmas time here in Australia and so are picnics down the beach or eating fish and chips wrapped in paper as you watch kids in their sail boats. I did add a few fish to my journal page, but they somehow got lost under the modelling paste, err I mean, surf.
This is a photo copy of a line drawing sketch page in the Happy Hour Art Journal 'Whimsical Girls" A4 sized book by Jane Davenport. I printed the colouring page directly onto a kids book page. It is a pure fluke that the sentences are lined up perfectly on the right hand sail.
Before the "angel policy" police get their knickers in a twist, on the second page of the Jane Davenport book, she gives permission to photocopy the content for the personal use of the retail purchaser. On the other hand I have probably violated some copyright law for using the kids reading book LOL.
The vintage reading book paper is very thin so I coloured everything with gellato crayons and moistened my finger tips to move the colour around. The background page of the journal was done by squirting Dylusions ink and water onto wet gesso, then closing the journal and firmly pressing the pages together. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in. Stay safe.

Hi Susie: Just popped in to say G’day.
I love your little sailboat and the invisible fish. Truth is I miss the seaside. The lovely creation took me there for a moment.
The textures and colors and your storybook description.
It really is fun to be taken on a moment by moment ride as you describe all the steps. The past two years have been crazy.
I hope you are keeping safe and sane.
