Smooth Jazz page

 Happy FriYay, I hope all is well with you.
It's March 31st, can you believe? I really can't!

Here's the right hand side of the spread that I shared the left hand side of yesterday. 

The page was already painted with blue acrylic paint. I traced a Visible Image stencil "Sax It Up" onto the page with a black Posca pen.

Then I made big red circles with some Barn Door DOX and a round foam blending tool to get the circle shape. I heat-dried them and then went back over with some red acrylic and a brush. I used inks, paints and paint pens to make marks and dots. I used gold ink to paint the sax, silver ink to paint the bubble sound and the red paint to paint his hat and the frame. I used several of the Poscas to dot everything like confetti. Finally, I used a white Posca to journal.

Here is how the whole spread looks now. In 2012, I discovered my cable TV had music channels, and I began listening to the Smooth Jazz channel on it. Well, I was hooked and pretty much quit listening to anything else regularly. I still do this today. It really helped me quit watching so much TV. I find it soothing and upbeat at the same time, and no commercials which is awesome. How Sweet It Is!

Thanks for visiting and have a great last day of March!

I often forget about those music channels on cable and I also forget how much I like music. I've been hooked on Podcasts on Spotify lately and listen to random playlists on there sometimes. Your journal spread is creative, fun and colorful. Thanks for playing along at the Paper Funday Challenge.

What an amazing change in your listening habits. I love that smooth jazz image and how you added the circles, too. Lots of dots completed that amazing entry. That sax really takes center stage. This is a superb entry for Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey. Thank you for all the beautiful entries you have shared with us this month, Aimeslee.

I'm late stopping by for AJJ as this didn't show up in time on my page for me, but I am glad I found it over at TIOT. I like this page a lot. I like how you made the man all spotty to match the background, and the sax sure stands out. It works great with the left side of your spread. I like it. Belated thanks for joining us at AJJ and also big thanks for also joining us as TIOT. Happy April too. hugs-Erika
