Crow's Feet

This is a page that I completed in Dina Wakley's new mixed media journal. Some of the difference surfaces are a challenge for me but I enjoying the process immensely. I'll be posting more as I finish pages. This page is burlap and I made a tag for the backside to give the page support.

Thank you to the late Lisa Englebrecht who taught me how to do canvas/fabric pages. These pages are canvas in the Dina Wakley's mixed media art journal. I had so much fun with the painting, sewing, layering of textiles and then calligraphy as suggested by Dina herself. I am happy with the result. It's good to keep in mind her mantra of "Oops, oh well!"

Thoughts about ART

These two pages are from my Dina Wakley mixed media journal on the watercolor paper. The sentiment is one that I have used in one of my journals from a few years ago. I thought I would give Maxine a new identify which is one of Tim Holtz paper dolls. The second page is an image I found in a recent magazine at the office. I think it is suppose to be Audrey Hepburn but hard to know as I didn't take time to read the article. I did, however, change the original image by replacing the picture she is looking at by using one of my own frames and a snippet of my own made "art paper" using alcohol inks. I think I will do a few drawings myself of this figure - I love it so....
