This is my AJCJ for Chris. I've not done any 'she art' before and it's not exactly the same as Christy Tomlinson's stuff, but hey, I actually really enjoyed doing it and may well find myself doing some more. The background is a mixture of Dylusions spray ink and inktense pencils (both of which are pretty new to me but I'm liking a lot) which I then stamped with an umbeliifer stamp that lurks in the dark recesses of the broom cupboard. I 'dotted' the seed heads with a white sakura pen and I really like that effect. I distress stamped the stitching around the top corner and found a nice grid stamp that I used for the hell of. My lady is my own drawing, coloured with ProMarkers and the dress is made of two bits of paper - a book page which I stamped with the ladybird and and piece of raspberry plainish paper for the bodice. Her name is Michelle and she's quite a one. Oh, the words say 'she flies with her own wings' which is a saying I found on a site (which I will reference when I can find it....) but I really liked it - sums up how I feel at the moment which is a good thing I guess :)
I was initially a bit not freaked, but concerned that I hadn't explored this area of art before, but I'm pretty pleased with the end result. What do you think?
I love it Cronnie!!! It's gorgeous! I love this kind of art! You've done a lovely job xx
