I have been playing today with mixed media. I had watched Nadine Milton (Hop-A-Long Studios on YouTube Channel) on the Art Expression Summit. I used her ideas for this page. I stamped, watercolored, stenciled with acrylic paint, and collaged with a napkin and with stamped and die cut acetate pieces. I just totally had fun! I am submitting this for the Art Journal Journey Challenge to use birds this month. Thank you, Mia. There was a bird on the napkin I used, which by the way is from our napkin swap a few years ago for TSFT. Also, there are birds in the stamped image with the lighthouse. I also submitted for the ACOT Rewind Challenge of the Mixed Media Hidden Journaling Challenge and to SplitcoastStampers for their Free4All challenge to use paint and for their Mix-Ability challenge to use the letters of the word Grads for elements in our project:
G- green
R- round, the stamped acetate pieces are circles.
A- acrylic paint, acetate
D- daubed paint
S- stamping, stenciling

I used Ken Oliver Color Bursts which I have had for years! I used Stampers Anonymous TH Leger Script background stamps, Stampendous stamps, Art 101 acrylic paints, napkin, and acetate, using Ranger Archival Jet Black ink and Stazon Jet Black ink.
I hope you are having a great week! Playing in my craft room today was very relaxing. I hope you have something you like to do for relaxation.
Here is a photo of another relaxing element in my life: A cup of tea. (photo from archives). I am posting this for my ticket to TSFT. However, I am posting early so I can get in on May's AJJ Challenge.

This is a fabulous page Sharon. I really like it, and it feels like a beach to me. And those colors are super. My favorites I'm glad you finally used those color bursts. Thanks for joining Mia at AJJ, and happy early T day to you. Have a great holiday weekend. hugs-Erika

Late as usual, but I love your mixed media entry. Adding the bird was perfect for Mia's theme at AJJ, too.
It's OK to use a drink from your archives. I've done it before, too. Thanks for the awesome mixed media art and the tea you shared with us for T Tuesday, dear Sharon.
I do love this Sharon. Have a nice day.
