Studio L3



The other day, I had some time for myself and I spent it surfing the net. Suddenly I found the studio L3 where a Linda makes challenges using Tim Holtz' book "a compendium of curiosities".
SOOO because I have that book I thought I would like to have a go.
This week it's about page 55, tinted vision fragments, using the alcohol inks.

Making this journal page, I ended up using TH's embossing folder "collage and notebook set", TH's collection stamps, TH's distress inks, TH's alcohol inks (current, silver, pearl, eggplant and ginger) AND a stampotique stamp.

I used a picture of Frida Kahlo from a magazine and tinted the fragments on different eyes to get a bit of a "groovy" effect... AND of course I had to doodle a bit - just waiting for my new doodle-pen to arrive...

Hope somebody out there likes it!

"Sing like no-one's listening, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like no-one's watching, Live like it's heaven on earth"

I copied this quote from Amy. It is very true , but sometimes hard to do...

GPP 42 crusade



At GPP 42 crusade they would like to see different ideas with paperstrips. I tore paper and fabrics into stripes and glued them onto a background. The idea was to enjoy all the colours , but the combination turned out to be to buisy. SOOO - I painted it all with gesso and suddenly I liked the background - a bit wabbely, but why not? Because I love my stamps I stayed true and used them : "do you ever feel lonely among others...?
Great fun!
