The Three Muses – Blue

24 May

The Three Muses have asked for something blue this week so I made a page in my journal. I found an interesting prompt and tutorial at Green Isle Crafts on tearing a random shape from a folded book page and seeing what you could make with it. Mine looked like a dog to me, among other things, so I made him a window to look out of. Maybe he’s watching a bird fly by. This journal is bigger than my scanner, so it’s a bit cropped but the important bits are there. :) This was a fun prompt and I’ll be trying it again.

    Wow, what a great crafty idea, Melissa, love your piece, wonderful composition!
    (As I write this my 11 1/2 year old Bichon is on the back of the chair looking out the window – his favourite place, little does he know he’s off to have his lipoma lumps removed tomorrow!!)

      Good luck tomorrow at the vet. My Boston had a lump removed not long ago and already has another.

    I love this technique and your little dog very much and his window is the most beautiful shade of blue. I think he’s waiting for an unsuspecting cat to go by!!!

    Wonderfully done! I didn’t know 12 was old for Boston terriers?

      I didn’t either until recently. I thought all small dogs had longer life spans than the larger breeds but the vet told me ours had already lived past the average age for Bostons.
