GETTING ARTY

I'm new to all this arty/journal/she-art stuff, so i'm not really sure what to call it. i think a mixed media canvas will cover all bases. Everyone seems to be trying it out at the moment, so i thought, why not? I recently attended a retreat with my dear friend ebony ven der starre, and picked up lots of little tips on how to get started, so i had a little play and this is what i came up with.........

 

.....what do you think?

I'm thinking, seeing as i used all my greeting farm background stamps, cloud stamp, piper, and washi tape from TGF, that maybe i should put a little sign on the door that says "the greeting farm" or maybe just the initials TGF. I think i'm meant to sign it as well. oops!

Here's a closeup of piper as well.....

 

 

I decided to try mod podging over the top of piper and thank goodness all was good. I had visions of all my copic coloring mixing into one ugly mess but luckily that didn't happen.

 

So, i hope you like my creation. I have since made the covers of a journal for DD#1 to take with her to King Island for ALL OF NEXT TERM. She is only 15 and spends the entire school term on a tiny island in Bass Strait.....in the middle of Winter!!! Can't show the journal yet though, as she may read my blog. 

Off to bake and decorate a cake for Annabel's farewell party on Sunday.
