Documented Life--Week 5 and the cover, in progress

The cover, decorated with washi tape--still in progress.

Week 5--Doodle a border. 

Doodling does not come easily to me.  It's one of the things my inner critic jumps on and shouts--NOT GOOD ENOUGH--TOO MESSY--WHAT IS THAT?
I am trying to loosen up and let go, practicing on index cards.  I may finish this year's ICAD challenge before it even starts!

Tahe a word--Two

Two dreamers...

Documented Life Project Week 4--Hide the text

It ain't pretty but it's mine!

Gene Tierney

Altered photo from Google; colored background a paper from Tumble Fish, blurred and overlaid with a texture from Bittbox; text is a brush.

Linking to Sunday Post Card Art--Faces

In the style of LK (Lynne) Perella

Those of you into mixed media and stamping know the work of Lynne Perella.  Our challenge at DigitalMania this week is to create digital work in her style. Here is my offering.

a portrait of Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus; overlaid with blocks of transparent teal and yellow,  an art paper from ItKuPiLLi and painted with PS brushes.

Journal 52 project--always makes me smile

Digitally altered photo from Wikimedia Commons, printed and collages over watercolor paper painted with acrylics and Lumiere paints and oil pastels.  I wish this scan showed the shimmer of these colors..  I go by this pond every day.  It's frozen solid now, and it's only a foot or two deep.  I always wonder if the owners catch the fish and keep them in a tank all winter, or if they leave them in the ice.  They have survived a few winters, though and it just makes my day whenever I see these BIG fish in this little pond.
