WOYWW 247- Candy Diva

Good afternoon desk hoppers, I have just completed my week 5 piece from Life Book 2014! 

I know I'm jumping about a bit here with it but that's OK, because I can.

I knew this piece was going to take a bit longer for me to get my head around and I ended up using Marieke Blokland's template for this fun piece "Candy Diva". I think I might have been a bit clumsy with my layers, there are so many on here, but I'm not sure you can see them all. 

I'm hoping to catch up a little more with the other Life book weeks, as I'm recuperating from an operation this week. It will take my mind off to wonderful places. :-)

If you'd like to have the low down on snooping at other workdesks around the world nip over to the stamping ground where you'll find all of the details.

Thanks for passing by.

Be True To You

Here's my mixed media piece for week 4 of Life Book

the teacher for week four was Kelly Hoernig.

Week four was a bonus week "Be True to you".  

I got a little carried away by creating two pages.

This isn't as bright yellow in real life and the tag colour should have more hints of teal showing.

I'm hoping you'll be able to see the under layer of texture in these larger photos.

Sorry I can't add any details of how these pieces were created as I was following class techniques in creating them. 

Although I did add a couple of twists of my in own.

Paints: Fresco by PaperArtst Zesty Yellow, Limelight, Beach Hut & London Night.

Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers, Black Soot

Tissue Paper Melange & Composer

Plus a few other bits and pieces.

Thanks for Looking,

A fun affirmation

Here's my piece for week two of lifebook 2014 I'm already working in catch up mode ;-)

The tutor for week 2 was Micki Wilde, where she demonstrated a happy affirmation. 

My word for this year is fun and I had it producing this piece, once I'd got over the initial shook of painting the page grey! I don't why it effected me like that as I normally like grey as a colour at least it wasn't brown. Anyway as soon as my white fine liner arrived the fun began.

Thank you, Micki Wilde it was fun.

My guardian

I'm taking part in Lifebook 2014 this is lesson 1

Here's my guardian to make sure I have fun!

 I didn't see her first of all as she's actually very white and appeared in white foam, so this is the essence of her, otherwise I'd be showing you all a white page! 

I know she's not totally completed yet and I'll be altering her as the year goes by.

My word for the year is fun and the colour is varying shades of teal.

Thanks for looking,

Warm up exercise

I'm taking part in the Lifebook 2014 and have just completed the warm up exercise. I've decided to blog my progress on the course whether I like the outcomes or not. In fairness to Tam I will not be posting any details, it you want to know you're going to need to sign up for the course too.
