There's nothing to see yet!
Just applied wall putty on the first pages
(this is supposed to be gesso
but I usually use wall putty-
less expensive).
I've joined Tam's free e-course,
Art, Heart and Healing
(not too late to sign up for it).
I'm starting our 2nd week's project,
which is altering a boardbook.
More than a thousand joined up
and it's fabulous to look at the work
that was done for the first week.
We did a journal page.
I didn't have much time to do mine-
did more than my usual touring of WOYWW desks
(excuses, excuses!)
but here is my first week's journal page:
Tam is amazingly generous and is
putting a lot of time and effort
for this e-course.
She taught how to make faces
and how to do layering for background
(my goodness, her favorite phrase-
it takes a loooong time!)
What I particularly liked
is she didn't edit her video
when she made mistakes,
so you could see it all works in the end.
See you as we comment
on the WOYWW posts
on Julia of Stamping Ground's
bloghop!
Wow this is beautiful.

Can't wait to see what you do with the board book! I have never done one so I don't have any advice sorry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek!

Your journal page is lovely and your portrait beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI too am doing the course and have just completed the board book page. I had terrible trouble with my gesso and the end result is very, very grungy - still that adds to the effect I suppose. Good luck with your putty, it can't be any worse than my gesso - LOL.
Now I never knew you could use putty instead of gesso, so I learned something else today! Love your journal page, its stunning.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see your finished project! Sheena #99
ReplyDeleteMaking books is a lot of fun, especially to use as a journal. Love your page! Thanks for showing what's on your desk. #121
ReplyDeleteI too joined her class, your drawing is stunning - mine still needs work! Good idea re: putty :-) Christine #22
ReplyDeleteI joined that class, but haven't had a chance to view the first video yet. Ironic that gesso is cheap in the States and putty is much more expensive. But you won't catch me drawing anything any time soon! Love what you are doing, though.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late getting here, but I'm taking it at a snail's pace this week (#15).
Altering is not something I have tried yet...I am one of those hop around crafters that likes to try a bit of everything so hopefully I will get round to trying it soon. I like the sound of an e-course...may look into one of those too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me have a look at your workdesk.

Hi Patsy, you left a query on my blog about emulsion paint, I think you might call it latex wall paint there. have a look at the Dulux trade site.....http://www.dulux.co.uk/products/info/usage/soft_sheen.jsp
ReplyDeleteWonderful art work there on that journal page. :)
