Wall Plaque and Blog Break

Here is a 15 x 15 cm cardboard square I decorated using acrylic paint and stencils.

So you are aware in advance, I will be having a couple of weeks off from blogging. I will post a couple of automated posts, but it won't be as many as usual. I will be back, though, before the end of September. Can't wait to catch up with all your blogs!

MY Documented life - replay

For week 30 of DLP the prompt was 'real life.' The guest artist was Jeanne Oliver. I loved her tutorial but didn't use in my DLP journal that week, so I thought I would have a go in one of my other journals. This was the end result.

Just playing!

I just sat at my computer and played around to create this fun digital collage.

Autumn

It's September and it is beginning to feel a bit autumnal, hence the change in colours and mood.

My Documented Life - week 35

Well ... the prompt for the challenge this week was 'mirror, mirror - a self portrait'. Oh my! The guest artist was Pam Carriker and I tried to follow her techniques. I made two attempts, neither of which quite look like me, but I think they are both reasonable attempts. I can see where I have gone wrong and, therefore, which areas I need to think about improving next time.

Well here are my last batch of Scrap Squares, at least for the moment. I hope you have enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed making them.

My Documented Life - week 34

The prompt for this week was about layering, whilst still thinking about faces and/or the human form. You can see that there are far more layers on the page on the right. I copied a photo of me when I was about 11 years old and then used one of the current me on the opposite side. I nearly didn't show this spread but, hey, I am not going to produce work that I like all of the time!!

My Documented Life - week 33

The challenge for week 33 was about painting faces/figures. I loved watching Mystele, the guest artist work her magic and tried to emulate her. Here are my two pages:
