Art Challenge: Silhouettes
Journal Prompt:  There is no shadow without the light...

I used dylusion paint in blue, turquoise and purple. I found the images online and added music paper and masking tape to the page. I brayered some silver paint and added some stamping. I used Tim Holtz alphabet stamps for the quote.

Mandala Magic - Contemporary Hamsa

Day 4 of Mandala Magic and today is a contemporary hamsa.

 I coloured the hamsa with promarkers and coloured the mandala with a neomarker.

I outlined some of the lines with jelly pens but you can't see it on the larger picture. Hopefully you can see it better on this picture.

Hope you have crafty plans today

Mandala Magic = Day 3 Concentric Circles

I'm still using the Windsor and Newton Journal and this time I coloured the mandala in with promarkers. It did bleed through to the back page but I'm ok with that.

Colouring was very therapeutic, I forgot how therapeutic it can be - I do have some colouring books (for adults) that I should get out!

Art Challenge: Self Portrait
Journal Prompt:  Mirror Mirror

I am still waaaay behind but trying to do all the pages! This weeks challenge was a self portrait but I followed Rae's advice and went to a website that turned photos into line drawings - then went over it with pencil and paint. The light was quite bright on the photo so the line drawing lost my nose......I know....how do I smell......

So I (badly) sketched it in myself. The photo is from many years ago when my hair was straight.

I found the quote online and it reads ' Mirrors have 3 purposes, to show you who you are, to show you who you were and to to show you who you want to be' - Dan Pearce.

As it's Wednesday here is a picture of my desk - still in crimble card mode...

and a quick card I made for my mum's neighbour who had a baby girl.

Hope your week is going well
