I have finished yet another layout using ONCE AGAIN the fabulous RVK for March. I have no clue what I will do when I have used every piece in this kit, its addicting and so awesome. I guess I will just have to make do with what I have:) right Will???
This time I have used a Polaroid of the "Imagine" mosaic in Central Park's Strawberry Fields. I am an avid listener of the Beatles, absolutely hands down one of my favorite bands and I have much respect for the late John Lennon. "Imagine" is such a beautiful/ melancholy sort of song, it always brings a tear to my eye. When I visited the memorial last summer I felt just so at peace sitting there and reflecting while listening to people play the guitar or sing some Beatles songs. I love this place so much and I will make it a habit to visit more often seeing that we do only live about an hour away.
I took several images of the mosaic that day, these have to be my favorite Polaroids taken to date. It only seemed suitable that I make its very own layout for this one, now I will cherish it even more:)
For this LO I basically clenched my teeth and ripped up two pieces of the paper that came in the kit. I made of a sort of match work mosaic which I painted in between with some gesso and then some blue paint. Oh before laying down the pieces, I crumpled a piece of the lined paper and glued that down for my journaling. I then added some felt pen details(once again) and placed my picture where I felt it fit best, painted around the picture with some blue paint, and added some stars. Below the image I added another piece of ripped lined paper for the rest of my journaling or title. I hand stitched in yellow all the squares together, and I also added some flowers to the left with hand stitched stems. A few buttons, staples and softies and I was done. Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, excuse me, I'm:
1) not so good at describing it all
and
2) not so good at capturing it in my make shift photo studio in the bathroom:)(it has the best lighting) lol
OH before I forget, the journaling is from part of the "Imagine" song, and it says:
"Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too.
Imagine all the people, living life in Peace"
Peace!!!!!!!
