Last Week for Challenge #113: It's all about Me! Twist - a self portrait?

 

113: It's all about Me! Twist - a self portrait?

Hello Peeps

Welcome to another week of creativity.

Last five days to create a self-portrait or to create something reflecting self.....

I used a piece from my journal for inspiration this week

Gel plate and stencil work, with lots of mark making

That is of course me......ahem, as I imagine my internal me to look like ......obviously she is young and vibrant and her hair is NOT curly!

I found a lot of joy creating her and the page

and it was a beautiful day outside too....

Let's see what you can make in these next few days

Cheers!

While I was waiting to do this post, I made a small album to contain the photo's about last weekend.....

Susan

I based my album on one I made at a workshop last year but swapped out the paper bag cover for DT papers and made it to suit the size of my large photos. It doesn't close - I wasted several vital minutes looking for the magnets I know I have somewhere until I finally gave up and left it!

(That's me on the left - the big girl with the red curls and the green jacket!)

and Vicki made this gorgeous folder cover

Midway through July's Challenge: #113 Art and all that Jazz

Well we are half way through July already...

We are midway through winter and those on the other half of the world, halfway through summer and the weather is not good in either place from all the news reports. 

On top of COVID we have lockdowns in Melbourne and Sydney, and now floods and fires in the northern hemisphere 

We are still OK here is Tasmania but nervously watching the DELTA make its way south....

Enough of gloom - let's get creative!

June third week: Challenge#112: Seasons and Seasonal TWIST: use handmade flower(s)

 Hello Peeps

It is winter and the solstice has passed here on Tuesday. We celebrated it on Tuesday morning with a mid-winter swim in the nude in the middle of the city.

Dark Mofo | Nude Solstice Swim

I would like to say I did the swim but I lay in bed listening to the radio broadcast the screams of the people who ran into the water, while I was snug under the doona. I salute them and their enthusiasm....

I associate winter here in Tassie with the cool blues and green - my favorite colours really

With the challenge been a Seasonal one, I created a simple card based on these colours and the theme

Susan

What  are you going to do?

You have a a week left - well five day's really

What season are you celebrating?

Remember, no STAMPS please.
