Positive Self 

(Some positives can turn into negatives)

Calm, passive, peaceful, gentle, love

Negative Self

(Some negatives can turn to positives)

At war, rage, courage, strength

Its all about ...Balance :0)

Honouring the past...

Hi everyone :0)

As you know I am taking part in Tams 'Lifebook' class

It has been great fun, a test of different styles to learn.

This piece is about honouring the past...via Gritty Jane.

Collage base of images re-presenting the past for me were:

Daisy head-dress, hippie power, tea, and Puff the magic dragon music.

I found this piece quite a challenge, but I am happy with her now :0)

The base - collage

Below is  - week 14

Honouring your past with Tam

Basically past experiences made who you are,

and this artwork was to represent what changes had the most impact.

For me it was, still is my dreams, hope, my love of art/creativity that

caused me to transform certain areas of my life, 

whilst giving me strength to overcome difficulties.

My heart...creatively soulful.

Below is a digital play piece from the original sketch.

Loving filters!

Tracey-anne, transfer....

Lifebook art update

I am still waiting via snail (royal mail - UK) mail for pens to arrive 

so here are my works in progress pics (WIP's).

This process was great fun, using gel matt medium to transfer
a photocopy image onto watercolour paper.
 Neo watercolour crayons,
Derwent watercolour pencils, & glaze medium to add colour to collage.

I used castles in my hair to represent my interest in folklore
& the ideas that I create usually have some connection with this area.

It would be special to make some of friends and family
- what a great present idea!

love,peace & light
