Three Digital Sides challenge at the Just Art site

By on 1-29-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

This challenge gave us three parameters … we had to use a duck, the colour yellow and seven items. My duck is a yellow bath ducky, my seven items are the green tiles echoing the Pear’s soap poster and of course my yellow background. I have several of the Pear’s soap posters but this one has to be my favourite. It’s so much fun.

Doodle This challenge on the Just Art site

By on 1-29-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

The Doodle This challenge is one I hosted. The blog posting from the Creative Market with the cartoons worked into the images immediately made me think this is something different that would look great on a digital scrapbook site. This is one of two entries I made. The photo is of the Ottawa River. I have always loved this photo but never knew what to do with it. It was waiting for this challenge. The elements belong to Gabbi’s Wonderful Water World. Nessi came from an online colouring book site which I reduced and altered. Poor Nessi, she is sooo lost.

Peter’s visit to my garden

Meet Peter, a rabbit that would visit my garden. He was there often and I welcomed the visits for taking his photo. This page was created for the Just Art ‘use it all’ challenge for August. I changed the colour of the kit … Peter wanted a green page so he could hide in the grass

Traced hand with Rachael Rice for Life Book 2015

By on 1-29-2015 in Life Book 2015, Mixed Media

When Rachael Rice created this hand with an eye and healing symbols. I wanted to do something different, something that would have meaning for me. Following the shining sun, soaring with the crows as they float on the thermals created by that sun has a lot of meaning to me. The sun is the most healing thing I know. My aches and pains feel so much better and I love the warmth it gives me and it lights up my world. My hand has a stylized sun and soaring crows with three more crows in my sky. If you look closely you can see the bumps of my arthritis and the way my fingers are slightly bending from the bumps. The sun’s heat is making the hands feel so much better so I can continue with my art.
