So let's talk the Eighties...HUGE shoulder pads, glamorous hair does and fabulous make-up...
not me! This pic is me in 1986 aged23, in fact it was taken at our wedding party. Everyone else dressed "as above"..the bride, in a leather fitted mini dress(black of course), a few silver trinkets and a bit of eye liner :D My hair as uncontrollable as ever...I like being different :D
I was going to do a white on black sketch from this photo, but I glow in the dark, so not enough definition, then I remembered the challenge at The Game this week, which has a random selection of elements to use. I'd already made my selection, 1 image and 8 words. Using your 2 items make a wall hanging so...
I made this :D
I started with a 10"x7" piece of card from a take out meal :D...
coated with gesso, acrylic paint(cerulean and ultramarine blue) and drips of blue and brown ink...
my image and my 8 words(in the Haiku stylie...though I don't follow rules well)
started blocking in colour to build a picture...
adding detail with a white sakura gel pen(more japanesieness)
Coloured the words with distress inks(mustard seed and peeled paint)
Zinging!!!
"look into my eyes......."
and whalla!
More doodling with white gel and yellow souffle pens, 3 ribbon loops stapled in place and (because of the oriental links) threaded onto a chopstick to hang from :D
I loved the 80's. It was actually a very eclectic time, when just about anything was wearable and the music rocked!...and I met and married a gorgeous and loving man :D (he had ringlets and a tash!!!) in fact while we're sharing...
and yes...the lady in the background is wearing a duck mask :D
Enjoy XXX
