My little book of ME

Week 2 of Tam's ART, HEART and HEALING e-course(free)

she showed us how to alter a board book to use as an art journal.

*was Little Red Riding Hood*

 Got this one from The Works for £1 and it has lots of pages

so I can do lots of moments from my life that made me who

I am today *and I quite like me so that's cool*

 These books always have shiny "wipeclean" pages

so it is important to create a surface things can cling to...

I used matt medium and book pages, 

followed by a thin coat of gesso.

 Then to decorate the cover.

I'm enjoying the bright flowers in my garden at 

the moment, so went with a fiery orange from

the Day lilies (not a colour I often use*

and then "worked" on a photo of ME that makes me smile

*as suggested in the class*

I like how penetrating my eyes are...(cws)

and how "determined" I look :D

because I am nothing if not "determined".
