    The Documented Life Project: Week 8

    March 3, 2014 /

    The week 8 prompt was to create a flap for your flap.

    I completed this on February 22nd but since it was my birthday I didn’t get a chance to post it.  Then I got sick and wasn’t able to put it up til now.

    Since the 22nd was my birthday I decided I would make the flaps about it.  I used the flaps so that when they were open they would create a cake and a section for me to write about my day.  On the other sides of the flaps I wrote birthday quotes, events that happened on the day I was born, other people born this day and zodiac sign information.  I also used a lot of purple since purple is my favorite color which is the color of my birthstone which is amethyst.

    To create these pages I used gesso, Koi watercolors, acrylic paint markers, Sakura Micron pens, washi tape, paper flowers and watercolor paper.

    The Documented Life Project: Week 6

    February 10, 2014 /

    The prompt for Week 6 was to look on pinterest and be inspired.  I choose to be inspired by Teesha Moore.  I also chose to be inspired by her style not just a specific piece.  I normally don’t like collage pieces but since her style also includes doodling and drawing I thought I would try it.

    I really like how my first piece turned out.  As soon as I decided on Teesha Moore I knew I wanted to do a peacock and I looked for a quote I liked to go with it.

    This is my second piece for the prompt.  I’m not all that thrilled with it.

    The Documented Life Project: Week 5

    February 1, 2014 /

    The prompt for week 5 was to add a doodle border.

    When I read the prompt I immediately had an idea.  However I then became sick and felt horrible all week.  This was the best I could do.  I used gesso, Distress Inks, Sharpies and a Sakura Moonlight Pen. I might create my first idea and add it in or just do it in an art journal.
