I love broadway and musicals, they just make me happy and want to sing out loud. So when I see a new Broadway soundtrack I don't have, and when that soundtrack is on sale for $2 I just have to snatch them up. Several years ago my darling hubby found me Tarzan the Broadway soundtrack on sale. It had just come out on stage-and it was a flop. But I loved the Disney movie and thought I'd give the music a try. The music made up for the shoddy costumes and scenery I'd heard so much about.
One song in particular really jumped out "As Sure as Sun Turns to Moon", it is such a sweet song.
I had so much fun creating these pages. I knew I wanted to use lyrics from the song, and I had just spent a day organizing all my colors. I was intrigued by the idea of mixing various brands of mists and inks to see how well they would play together so I pulled out a variety of blues and golds in mists and paints from Lindy's Stamp Gang, Shimmerz, Tattered Angels, October Afternoon, Heidi Swapp and Tim Holtz and started spraying.
The sun was created using paints from Shimmerz and Twinkling H2Os to build up the color.
I loved how the October Afternoon spray left the small white 'stars' as I was spraying. I'm not sure if it was a reaction to some tattered angels I had used, or if it had something to do with the gesso'd surface of my journal-either way I loved it. The moon was a combination of Heidi Swapp and tattered angels spritzed with water for a mottled look and the clouds were created with white faber castell gelatos with dry burshed gesso on top
Overall I love how this turned out and the only thing I would add is maybe a black boarder of gelato to frame it in. Next time...something to help me warm up in this frigid weather!
