An art journal page inspired by this prompt from "A year in the Life of An Art Journal"
I wrote three layers of journalling then slightly obscured it with gesso. I've been walking around with this fortune slip for awhile and finally found the perfect use for it!

Bono's 2010 African Well Fund Birthday Card
For eight years now African Well Fund has held fundraisers for Bono's Birthday May 19. And almost every year I've made a birthday card for him that we''ve sent to his management. I know it's quite late, but this hill became my mountain which i finally was able to climb!
Here is this years card inspired by the lyric "Vision over Visibility" from the song "Moment of Surrender." I used all of the birthday wishes we collected for Bono online to create a collage paper used on both the envelope and cover of the card. Together, while no one wish is truly visible (and all names were deleted), all together they, I think, create a vision of hope for change.
Back of envelope:
The back of the envelope is simple - the glass heart bead I picked up on Portobello Street in London, the lace, screen and "punchinella" is from Gauche Alchemy.
When it is opened the card comes to view:
The cover of the card is spraypainted and the pages are bound into that with floss and beads also from Gauche Alchemy.
The front of the envelope that holds the card is printed with the certificate we usually give to Bono stating the amount raised and how it will be used:
Here are the envlope and card together:
On a separate note, i went through many variations of the card cover and took a photo of them all :D
Past Cards:
2009 Card
2008 Card
