    The Documented Life Project: Weeks 9 & 10

    I was sick for a while and got behind on the prompts.  This past weekend I caught up on the prompts I missed.  There are no planner pages for these two weeks.

    The prompt for week 9 was collage something recycled.

    Everything on here is recycled except for the letters used in Can’t Wait for Spring. The background is wrapping paper my friend Ruth made for a gift she sent me, the border is strips of the halls cough drop wrappers which have motivational sayings, the moon/sun is the label off a beer bottle, the flowers are made with flatten beer/hard cider bottle caps and scrap cardstock.

    The prompt for week 10 was to make a list of what makes you – you.

    The first thing I thought of was dna so I decided to try to draw dna and then write the things that make me me on it.

    The Documented Life Project: Week 8

    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

    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.
