Journal 52- week 8


When I signed up to take part in Journal 52, I just knew that it was NOT going to be easy for me.
However, we are at week 8 and I find I am tackling things I would never have dreamt of doing, or even showing you the result. As always we had our prompts and guides on this weeks theme....................
'Found Poetry'
Well I do love to read poetry, but this was right out of my box. These are the words I picked out from my chosen book page, I was also lucky to get some that were in order and made sense to me. 
'Moonlight painted her hair
He was in love.'
All it needed was coats of  gesso,acrylics white, turquoise and blue. A bit of random stamping and the Wendi Vecci  face image . I have yet to find the courage to try my hand a painting faces. Oh dear hope that is not an omen for a future prompt.
Thank you for stopping by, I do appreciate the comments you leave.

  2. We are such a brave lot are we not, showing these Journal 52 pages? I've added some flower sequins to mine since my page post...looking forward to being able to complete some of the pages when I get home!

    I do hope you are not tempting fate with your comment about faces Yvonne, I've only ever managed to do one that was remotely any good and that was a pencil sketch of my mum done about 40 years ago!!!

  4. Fabulous page Yvonne, and what a lucky find with that text! It is always a challenge to step out of our comfort zone I find, but then in the end it is usually well worth it, I would certainly say that here!
