A wise old owl sat on an oak...

....The more he saw, the less he spoke, 
The less he spoke , the more he heard!

This is an art journal page.

2. Do You Stack Up - favorite color - which is the rust color!
3. Simon says stamp and show - backgrounds


STAMPS USED:

    weer zo'n prachtige creatie, Ellie, wat een mooie achtergrond weer, heel ingewikkeld maar perfect in balans, ik bewonder U ten zeerste want mijn achtergronden zijn meestal één chaos!!

    Groetjes

    OOOHHHH, Ellie, wat is dit mooooi!!
    Ik heb mn ogen uitgekeken.
    En dan je achtergrond gemaakt met aquarelpotloden??? Haast niet voor te stellen. En dan je witte uil!
    Dacht eerst, dat'ie uitgeknipt was uit een voorbedrukt vel o.i.d.
    Heb je ook nog iets van een boomsjabloon gebruikt of zo.
    Ik heb hem verschillende malen aangeklikt om hem weer even beter te zien.
    Hij is echt geweldig, wat een kadootje geef je hier voor het weekend weg.
    Groetjes Gery

    Absolutely gorgeous, Ellie and lovely soft colours, as you say. I don't get that kind of softness with my w/c crayons - must try harder, lol. It's a pity it's a well known fact that owls are really stupid, even if we all like to think of them as wise, me included x
