Shipwrecked


In this latest spread in my ledger, I have used this week's Altered Heart prompt picked by Karen BP. The word prompt is Shipwrecked. I have created a spread based on how things have been in my life this past year, and my feelings about the new year ahead.

Baby it's not your sleigh ride....


Here I was just having some fun creating
a winter scene based on a song I heard
on a TV commercial. Sure wish I knew the
title of the song and the artist!

WINDOWS TO THE SOUL





Out of the blue I got this idea to create a series of spreads by selecting images of women, but with each one I would alter their eyes to create their mood, and then paint the backgrounds to suit. I've titled this series "Windows to the Soul". I have all kinds of pictures selected, as I plan on creating a lot of spreads using female images, at least until I get tired of it! lol
These three spreads are what I've completed so far.
The top spread is titled "Forest Maiden". In it I tried to give the woman an innocent doe-like look with the eyes I used for her. The middle spread "Lonesome Christmas", is of a woman alone in her castle on Christmas Eve awaiting the arrival of her love...but he is very late, and she's not looking too impressed about it!
And lastly, the bottom spread, titled "The Secret", is about a woman, and quite the actress too BTW, that leads a very secret life!

Well, now I am off to finish more spreads that I've already got in the works! Such fun! :)

Wow, has it ever been a while since I last posted some artwork on my blog! I've been working so much that I haven't had time to play. But this weekend I finally had some time off work to do just that, play! I haven't been 100% certain of my choice of engagement calendar that I picked to use for the upcoming 2008 calendar journal round robin. So, yesterday I returned the one that I had originally bought in exchange for a ledger style journal. Karen BP used a ledger style journal for the 2007 RR and it was undeniably incredible. Well, when I got home with my new journal, I immediately got to work on it. Above is what I completed. Now it is all set to be mailed off for the brand new 2008 RR! I am thoroughly looking forward to another year of calendar journaling!
