Life Book 2016 - Patch It Up, Make It Shine!
... mine is absolutely nothing like the beautiful painting which Ivy made, but I really enjoyed this, and I learned a few lessons and picked up some ideas along the way, and that's what matters.
Inspired by Ivy's painting, I started by collaging a picture of a girl from a magazine and some paper butterflies, then used my fingers to add paint. Ivy used lots of metallic elements - I chose metallic paints, giltflakes and rub-ons. They really catch the light, although it doesn't show in the photo. Final details and shading were added with Inktense water-soluble pencils and Pitt pens. We started by writing our negative thoughts to leave behind into the background, and finished by adding positive words to take into the new year.
Beautiful! I like the butterflies and how you show just half the face!
This is pretty dam cool. I am on my way to check LB out. Looks fascinating.
