I was thinking of this song when I pasted up the opening phrase for this page.
Yes, I guess I'm getting a little obsessed with selling our house. And moving back near the ocean.
Production notes: All of the cut out words are from 2 children's books I bought yesterday at the thrift store (they were having a 50% off sale, I thought it was an April Fool's joke--but it wasn't!) The large type came from I Don't Believe in Elves by Jane Thayer ©1975. I bought it just for the type, and I don't feel at all bad about cutting it up because the pictures are ugly (no offense, illustrator Susan Swan, just not my taste). For the background I used some watercolor from a tube (green), regular craft paint (lighter blue) and some Golden fluid acrylic (darker blue). I also used oil pastels and colored pencils along with a Sharpie for outlining.
This art journaling thing is really fun.
