Book of Days : This is enough
This piece began as a pretty background when I made my previous page, with inspiration from a class with Effy Wild using paper collage as a base for the face, garment and hair. I began with this pretty iridescent background
and cut a face shape from sheet music, and a simple neck and shoulders from an old book page
I was hopeful that I could utilise this lovely gelli print from my stash - I have visions of hair....
First colours added
I pieced her garment from a few pieces of the pink gelli print, and then cut the feathers to use for her hair
Loving her ♥ Stencils added for background interest
And then I went to work on her face
Added words
And she's done
This is enough : to make art that makes me smile - to be heading into Spring - to see sunshine today - to have fun things planned for September - to have new creative ideas brewing - to be loved - to be here now, just as I am....This is enough for today.

She is lovely for sure! And so many layers- it's fun to see your steps.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun idea to cut her face and body from sheet music/book paper - which are usually reserved for background textures. Autumn for us means Spring for you! It's a whole different set of sentiments! Last day of holidays tomorrow (Monday) - then it's back to school and back to normality!
ReplyDeleteThanks lovelies - I enjoyed every step of this process. She seemed to want to come to life ♥
