I've finished my pages in Stephanie's journal for our Round Robin swap.
Steph hinted she might like a mermaid . . . I hope she likes this one.
Of course, this one's like all young mermaids, a shell phone glued to her ear.
She would rather talk than text, which is a bit unusual.
Her eight pet goldfish are oblivious to it all ~
they are having their own fun.
The journal will be on its way to Lisa soon, for her to add her magic!
Stephanie's journal
I'm the very first one to add my pages to this journal, a bit scary at first.
I already have Kim's book to start next. Will do a post on it soon!
I had thought to add this to Paint Party Friday, but I've been having such
a hard time getting around to visiting blogs, that I feel bad if I don't
reciprocate the visits. So for now, no PPF.
Visit there today though if you get the chance! You'll be inspired!
PPF button is in my sidebar.
Don't forget the Postcard Swap at Inspiration Avenue!
You can still sign up until April 29.
This is going to be tons of creative fun!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh WOW, wow, WOW! I am in love with this beautiful mermaid and I can't believe she is for ME!!! Also, I love the quote you chose to use- wonderful! You just made my day!!!

P.S. I was glad to see that the prefolded paper didn't cause any problems......at least it doesn't look like it did :)
Shell phone!!! LOLOLOL!
ReplyDeleteMan, you're funny!
And the colors, the details, the words...
and
especially the mermaiden...what fantastic pages.
How will I ever live up to that?
♥♥♥
Oh no...I almost left without mentioning your new header! It is so perfect! I love the colors, the realism and the whimsy. So that's what a real Magpie looks like, I never knew.
ReplyDelete♥♥♥
She is a darling mermaid, and has a sweet expression on her face.
ReplyDeleteAnd your blog header is really, really fanciful! Love it.
Thank you Nancy! I'm heading over for a blog visit soon!
DeleteOh Maggie she's gorgeous! I love the way you've painted the waves; the dark band with the great quote. And I love the detail - the little starfish is so sweet and it's really clever how you've reflected the infinity symbol from the cover with those little fishes! I'm not surprised Steph loves it so much! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie! The Round Robin is proving to be so exciting!

Maggie, your pages are BEAUTIFUL!! You are such a talented artist. I love the cute shell phone and the school of 8 fish. You did such a wonderful job. Geez, I really feel like the pressure is on. :) Your artwork is always inspiring. I keep saying you need to illustrate for children's books.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tammy
Heehee, Tammy. I wish I could find a children's book that needed to be illustrated :) It sounds like so much fun!
DeleteThank you so much for the encouraging comments!
Maggie

Oh Maggie, your mermaid is totally wonderful! She's sweet, whimsical & i can't help but wonder what she's hearing through her "shell" phone! XO :)
ReplyDelete...and regarding that carrot soup...500 mg is about a pound
ReplyDeleteSee you on IA this week!
Nancy
Oh this is super super gorgeous!!! I can't believe you were ever nervous because your artwork is stunning!! I'm glad I didn't peek at this before I sent my pages in Angie's journal off otherwise I'd have got very self-critical & worried I wasn't good enough, lol.
ReplyDeleteStephanie is a very lucky lady to have your mermaid in her journal. I can't wait to see the gift you leave in mine. So exciting :-)
I posted my pages today if you want to peek.
Big Hugs

Maggie, I absolutely love your mermaid! I must admit I'm envious.
