Board Book - pages 3 & 4

Here are pages 3 and 4 of my board book from Jo's class,
using her prompts. (See side bar for Jo's link)
They were made using gesso, acrylic paints, hand cut stencils
and paint pens. This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

I just thought that I should explain "board book". I started
with a children's book with thick pages. I sanded the front,
the back and both sides of each page before starting to work
on the pages with collage and paint.

    I like both pages, but the one that really speaks to me is the first one. The bold color combination with the striking silhouette and wisdom of the quotes makes it very powerful. Blessings, my friend!

    These are super, like illustrations.
    Love the background in the first, and the second would make a lovely card.

    I really loved the whole board book idea when you began this journey and it is looking great. It's a process that has loads of possibilities. I must try it as soon as I am able! Have a great weekend Faye

    Oh heavens, what a great idea. My board books are my old ones, couldn't do that to them, will have to go to the used bookstore and see if there are any there. What a great, great project. Love the leaves (and the silhouette too) and the sayings around everything. Blessings, Janet PPF
