Safe and Secure

When I hear the words Safe and Secure,
it automatically reminds me of the hymn I grew up on...
Standing on the Promises.
...'safe and secure from all alarm'...
But in all the craziness around here,
this is what I came up with for the FFF #4 challenge.
 Home offers a lot of security.
Inside that home, snuggling up on a comfy couch is pretty inviting.
I know you have to get off that couch and step into the real world too.


I love how my big geen comfy couch turned out.
I used paints and copic markers.
Though I am no expert using those markers.
I am learning as I go.
 The first one I did (below)
 immediately after the challenge had been issued.
I journaled my thoughts on security on the page first
then smeared it around with NeocolorII crayons and paint.
The bubbles appeared,
and living in a bubble seems like a safe place.
Though bubbles can be fragile and pop.
 
 
Artistically, I like how my bubble page turned out.
I like the hidden journaling and the layers.

  4. Great bubbles! And I love that couch - it looks so comfortable. I'm experimenting with Copics too. Aren't they great?

  9. I'm not sure how I missed seeing this but I'm glad I just stopped in to visit your blog. I love both of these but the couch is my favorite. Great take on the challenge. My husband has a t-shirt that says - "home is where the couch is." I know he would love your journal page too!
