It must have wings

  I am Neet, short for Anita as most people realise, and my blog is Hickydorums which is a play on my surname.  I am resident in the UK and was once a teacher in a High School where my main subjects were Ceramics and Business Studies although my real love was being Head of Careers working with the upper school helping them make choices and go on to higher education, apprenticeships and work related occupations.  Perhaps this is where my love of blogging has come from.

Once again I am honoured to be a Guest Host for Art Journal Journey.  I have been working on one or two ideas for my theme, which is "It must have wings" which covers my love of Lavinia stamps and the fairies that Tracy draws herself and has made into polymer stamps.  But it does not have to stop at fairies, if you think about it lots of things have wings - butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds and other insects; birds (don't forget chickens, hens, owls etc),  angels,  what about aeroplanes, lots of things steampunk, mythical creatures and so on.  You could even think of some buildings, the White House has its West Wing, hospitals have wings and so there are lots of wings when you think of it.  I wonder what you will come up with?

I am so looking forward to seeing what you make in your journal (please read the dreaded rules as we do NOT accept cards.  Remember to link your actual post and not just your blog (instructions at the top of the AJJ home page) and I will do my best to come and see what you have done and leave a comment for you.

My first post for this theme is from my Lavinia Journal and features two fairies, Twila and Lumus, with one of the new fledglings. How many wings can you spot?

  9. I absolutely love your theme "It must have wings"! The possibilities are endless, and it's so fun to think about all the different things that could be included. I love the idea of using Lavinia stamps and the magical fairies, but also the broader concept of wings in nature, mythology, and even architecture. I can’t wait to see what everyone creates under this theme! Your Lavinia Journal entry with Twila and Lumus sounds beautiful—fairies and wings are such a perfect fit. Looking forward to seeing more from this theme!
