What A....

Great weekend....a workshop with Lynn Perrella. This is the end product (bad pictures as its behind glass) a fab time collaging everything in sight!

The image was provided and the idea was to make it your own...I have a ton of vintage stuff sitting in drawers, stuff I've collected over the years and wanted to use it, this was the perfect opportunity.

I usually use bright vibrant colours so this was an exercise in restraint.......not easy!

I kind of like it.

especially the bird's nest hat!

And Now.......

for my version......... it's not that I don't like the girlies, I do very much but I wanted to do my own thing and what do I like?......birds of course and cats.

I couldn't figure a way of doing mouths so I've done without.... ( after everything I've said about mouthless stamps too!)

The cat was a nice simple image to create in paper...

so was the bird.. I'm not to good with the black pen outline thing either, it's a bit too uncontrolled for me. There's the neat freak again

I decided to add some bling to each piece as a kind of signature...hopefully these will make it to the Gallery

I have to say a huge thank you to Christy Tomlinson for the great class and the inspiration without which I wouldn't have done these.

Ta Da!......

All finished......... I've loved this class, and I've only one more week to go. I love the way this girl works, stuff everywhere and constantly changing her mind!
I've done this one following the instructions ( That must be a first!) but needless to say I've gone on to do my own thing... more of that later.

If you like this then I really recommend the class.... she makes it all so easy!

Something's Not Right......

When you start saving projects for 'best'
It's one thing to save stash for 'best' and I know I'm not the only one to do this ( I am trying hard to break this habit) but saving projects for'best' seems a little excessive!

I'm taking an online class, The She Art Workshop with Christy Tomlinson and this is as far as I've got, week 1 they're doing week 3!
I really want to crack on but for some reason I'm saving it for 'best'!
