" I woke up in love this morning,
went to bed with you on my mind!"
Anyone else old enough to have watched the Partridge family too!!!???!
I also woke up to snow all over the ground this morning...so pretty!
I even walked thru it to take these pics for you...(so now you owe me).... when I think of what I want I'll let you know!
And it's a big birthday week here, one of my sons, one of my daughters and I all have birthdays within a week or so. I've got a few more years before the big 50 so all's good!!!!!!
I've been working in my little fat goddess altered book that I posted the cover to a few days ago.... and I did a page following Amy's technique....
I layered scrap papers down and I used a quick dry white glue that was a bit messy but it did dry very quick,, scotch brand I think for scrapbookers, then I painted over it with acrylics, then I sketched this lady on top, painted over my sketch with acrylics and added colored pencil on top, I don't like her neck and will have to go back and cover it up a bit but I like the rest alright.
Not my most perfect piece of art but it was fun and isn't that the point!
It's a relaxing technique... to see more of it check out Amy and Natasha's altered book, free class over at Flutterbye. You'll be glad you did...
And I'm linking to paint party friday! Can't wait to see what everyone else did this week, and also to Inspiration Avenue because for once I did something that fits their theme!
And don't forget you have till the 20th or so, (I may get lazy and wait a few more days), before I do the drawing for my pendant, art and ACEO giveaways. Just click on the tiny little linky at the top to see my interview(the first one) and cut and paste it to your blog and answer the questions yourself, then link back to the linky or leave a comment on a post here, which is what some people have done. Either way as long as I find it you're entered! See ya!
ooow she is beautiful Andrea!! I too am thoroughly enjoying those classes :D XXX
ReplyDeleteLove the layered process you describe. Ive never tried that but man does it sound fun. and your art is lovely and make me think of lots of different feelings for this girl. snow is so wonderful I cant wait till we have a big ole snowstorm here in Ohio...my dog loves to romp in the snow.
ReplyDelete- KAT -
This is beyond gorgeous. I love it. Simply beautiful. You sure used a lot of layers. I would never have guessed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to all and especially to you Andrea! Best wishes for a great celebration and many many more.

Happy Birthday! I remember the tail end of the Partridge family but I was more of a Brady Bunch Kid. I adore, really, really adore this journal page! ~Happy Paint Party Friday! #9 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
ReplyDeletei have to admit that i do not miss the snow at all but your photos make it look (misleadingly) lovely! ;-)
ReplyDeleteand i loved the partridge family... that song always makes me smile.
your harlequin captures so much raw emotion. very nice!
She looks great, very dramatic ♥
ReplyDeleteoh, I am so drawn to her face. Really bold. ...Happy Birthday1
ReplyDeleteLove your painting, and I am looking forward to seeing your continuation of the story next week! Valerie
ReplyDeletePS Please keep the snow where you are!!
She is wonderful-I LOVE that question mark on her cheek!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday- doesn't it feel so good to still be in our 40's?
And yes, I remember the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch- those were the days :)
Oh, that Amy...she is spreading glue and joy all over the place, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteI really like this a lot. It has an air of mystery.
Hope I'm not too late for this one. Love your snow pictures. I've only seen snow once... when I was about 10, and that's too long ago to explain.
ReplyDeleteCan't find the interview, and time is running out... HELP!
ReplyDeletethe snow pictures are beautiful!!!!!!! oh, I wish we would have snow here for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove your art work, too! xo
Lovin this!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a goddess book,
but just can't imagine how I would get to that...
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYY!
And you can keep the snow :)
♥♥♥
Wow..absolutely beautiful..she is magnificent!
ReplyDeletevictoria
I really love her neck - it's different!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful, I love the harlequin makeup on her eye, and the question mark. I'm always intrigued by layering...I will check out Amy's technique.
ReplyDeleteSnow? Already? Those are beautiful pictures, and I hope I can just enjoy it in a photo for now :)
This is SO pretty!! I love the question marks on the eyes and the harlequin details!! Happy almost birthday to you all! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! love your harlequin piece.
ReplyDeleteIt's heading into summer here in Australia, that snow looks so cold and refreshing, I wish I could reach into the computer and grab some for my drink!
Thanks for the blog visit and the lovely comment.
I notice you have a link to the palette and paint party, thanks for including it on your blog and I look forward to seeing your materials soon.
xx
Lovely page and it does look like it was fun. Harlequins are so interesting! I like the neck as it is, myself.
ReplyDeleteshoot! andrea! i forgot to remind you that it's your week for the neverending story!
ReplyDeleteyou're up :)))
xxa
oh! andrea! i hope you get this in time. i Straight Up forgot to add valeries part of the story. it's up now, i hope this hasn't screwed you up too badly - i'm so os sososooooo sorry.
ReplyDeletei feel terrible.
i think i assumed that since i could see her portion, it would magically appear where it was supposed to be :((
i'm really sorry.
i bet this really sets you back.
if you need extra time, just let me know.
xxa
i came back again to tell you how insanely sorry i am. i know what an inconvenience it is that i didn't tell you there was a new portion. i'm so sorry.
ReplyDeletei can't believe i did that. i will put up a long boring apologetic blog post in a bit.
:(
xxa
I love the Partridge Family !!!
ReplyDeleteSnow...not so much. I know our turn is around the corner, so I still have some time for an attitude re-adjustment!
Your Goddesss is coming along beautifully ! Love that rich layered look.
Happy Friday!
wow, snow already- it looks beautiful! everyone seems to be getting to attend Amy's classes except me! i like this piece-it's still very your style but different - i can see Amy's influence there!
