June: Month of Maps!

5/31/2016

Hi, everyone! Happy June! This month, I am excited to have the honor of being hostess at Art Journal Journey! Many thanks to Valerie and Susi for the invitation! The theme for this month is MAPS, so that we could all do some exploring in our art journal pages! Your art journal pages could contain maps that are real or imaginary, drawn or collaged. Your pages could be about a physical trek outward or personal journey inward, or could be about a favorite place or somewhere you want to visit in your lifetime! Think creative cartography!
I had a blast creating these art journal pages containing a paper airplane flying over a map of constellations!

For this art journal spread, I layered StencilGirl stencils – Just Plane Fun, String, The Sky's the Limit and Text and Texture Explore – onto a textured background I created with acrylics.

Below is a detail:

I can’t wait to see your art journal pages about MAPS and where they take you this June! I hope you join in and post your pages at AJJ! It's going to be a fun month of maps!

Thanks for visiting!

Nice to "meet" you Mary.
I am a bit of a map collector and can never pass up old paper maps.
Your paper airplane is having a wonderful trip I'm sure on your lovely pages.
Excited about your theme for June.
Thank you.
