Sketchy Girl...

Life Book 2014 Week 21 led by Jennibellie.  We are to create a journal page with dimensional flowers, an accordion style embellishment with a personal message to oneself and a self-portrait sketchy-type girl.

I'm in the midst of packing up my studio.  Supplies are hard to come by.  I have kept a few water color crayons, brushes, pencils and acrylic paint handy otherwise I am dumpster diving looking for bits and pieces to include on my pages - a challenge for sure!

I was not thrilled with the dimensional flowers I created.   Outlining - bad idea!! A layer of gesso over top helped a bit.   I found some discarded tags in my wastebasket, painted them black, folded them over and stitched into position.  These tags now serve as tabs to hold my accordion embellishment in place - I want keep the letter to myself private.  (Just in case you were wondering - I do NOT have purple hair or green eyes!)

thinking outside the box...

Life Book 2014 Week 19 led by Danielle Daniel.  We are to stay focused on the "NOW" in our lives.  I have been consumed by my upcoming move to a new home.  We are downsizing big time which makes me anxious.  All I think about are boxes, packing them up, wondering if I have enough...it's exhausting!

I have not allowed myself to play in the studio - although I have left a few supplies out "just in case." I'm a week or so behind...today I'm making time for me!
