That's one of the reasons I haven't been around much, visiting your lovely blogs lately..... anyhoo...
This is how the background started off.
Its been so long since I played for ME that I got carried away and forgot to take photos of the in between steps! But I did end up here, having used the Tim Holtz film strip die to make my daily journal blocks (inspired by Donna)
Then I added images, the figure is from tumblefish as is the head (mix and match!) Duchess words - cut from a magazine and made into a tag which I looped around the neck of the figure - especially relevant just now because I keep asking myself what I'm doing and feel as though I'm meeting myself coming back as I commute between the two houses and the new house deciding what needs doing, what's going where etc! Our three offspring (who have flown the nest) have PLENTY of junk belongings left at home and appear to have no desire to collect it - although we CAN'T throw it away you understand - they are memories.....
Anyway, there I am, stood on packed boxes (and they are stacking up high!) images cut from a Crowabout StudioB download sheet - as you can see, I used the logo as a box too - I like it!)
If I get chance (during my busy schedule, hehehe!) I may add to the page - I feel as though I rushed it - that's because I am a completer - when I start something, I have to finish - having joined the challenge, I can't let myself miss a month if you can understand that - or just call me crazy!
At the end of the day, our art looked like this....
Donna and Gabby loved what they'd had done so much they climbed onto chairs to photograph their work from a height (Gabby's bloke is a photographer - think its rubbed off on her!) In fact, she loved it so much that she set the photo as the wallpaper for her iphone!
Show and tell.... Gabby....
Donna....
Pam....
A small group - although they still managed to make the sudio look like a bomb site! We had the most fabulous time - chatting and arting (and eating) and laughing and getting inky and well, you get the picture. FUN!
Oh - and what's happened to Blogger - I haven't been away THAT long but the whole posting thing has changed! I haven't had any trouble but I can see I'm going to have to familiarize myself with it all - that will be AFTER we re-locate!
