Art journal week 48: Wisdom

week48wisdomSml

I am still in catch up mode from last years challenge so here is week 48 for the ukstampers weekly challenge prompt is: Wisdom

  • Would you class yourself as a wise person?  Have you got wiser as you have gotten older or do you act your shoe size and not your age?
  • Are there any wise words you would like to pass on?
  • Stamp an owl on your page.

I would say I can be fairly wise and philosophical at times but can still be incredibly stupid at times too.  I have definitely learned more by making my own mistakes while also learning from other’s mistakes.  Getting older has certainly made me wiser.

Inks:  Brayed background with Stampinup Not quite navy, Distress inks Black soot and Frayed burlap to colour the owl and skeleton. Memento Tuxedo black
Card:  white card
Stamps:  Tim Holtz Urban tapestry, Aspects of design Grave tidings, Rubberstamp tapestry owl
Other:  white pen, black pen

Happy New Year

May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye’ll ivver see.
May the moose ne’er lea’ yer girnal wi a tear-drap in its ee.
May ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye’r auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye juist be sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be.
