Quick art share...

Lots of pics so I'll keep the words brief :D
Tamara Laporte  generously shared one of her classes for free 
last week, so I downloaded and gave it a try...
and Loved it!
"Happy Traveller" 
 she is on a journey...
 with her travelling companions..
 a very wise Hare and a chirpy little bird :D
 I enjoyed the class so much I decided to make another page.
 set on a darker night...
 I was trying for a darker skin tone...
but still ended up pretty pale. 
 Now I realised her face was rather wonky...
her mouth and nose looked very twisted.
 So I took a deep breathe and blocked them out with gesso...
 and re positioned them...
 which was really scary...
 but definitely worth it.
Much happier now :D
 The angle of her headband was also hopelessly wrong,
but I decided to keep it in and use to emphasise my journalling...
 "I wear my Halo at a jaunty angle..."
Not quite finished yet, but happy with how it's going.
Enjoy :D XXX

  3. Incredibly beautiful faces Gina and I truly admire your bravery in altering one of them, I would have been happy with it as it was but you took it to another whole level of genius. You should be creating your own range of stamps with these, love them xxx
