See her in my sidebar. Her name is Amy at <a href="http://flutterbye.ning.com/?xg_source=badge">Flutterbye</a>.<br />
She's teaching me how to draw faces!<br />
<br />
I started with an eye (actually a bunch of eyes)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HXFJrbe_SAE/TuK26MAnU0I/AAAAAAAACPs/rpB7PqEXx1w/s1600/eye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HXFJrbe_SAE/TuK26MAnU0I/AAAAAAAACPs/rpB7PqEXx1w/s320/eye.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next was noses<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then some mouths.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I put the whole thing together and added a little shading. Amy was great at explaining the shading. </div>
<br />

She's not perfect, or symetrical, but it's a face. I've always been intimidated by faces. Not so much now.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://flutterbye.ning.com/?xg_source=badge">Stop on over.</a> She's teaching a lot of great stuff. and it's FREE.<br />

(Go look at hers!!<br />
<br />
I had to run right down to Dollar Tree and pick up a few pumpkins. Here's my first attempt. Just covered with scrapbook paper, and added a couple of floral wire curlys.<br />
<br />
Oops! I see a bit of orange peeking through, oh well, that's what Sharpies are for.<br />
<br />
If you have a link for something you've done for Halloween, I'd love to see it.<br />

I've really enjoyed this course, and just because we're currently working on the last section doesn't mean it's going away forever. Stop on over and check it out!! I picked up lots of techniques, met lots of new friends, and saw lots of beautiful art that others did!<br />

Then on a lighter note, Wild Precious had a weekend challenge to use a poem. Since the rules were 'no rulz' I didn't use a poem I used lyrics.</div>

I had fun with this one. The roses are stamped with celery stalks.I cut them out and put some foam behind them to give them some deminsion. The leaves and the suns are from hand carved stamps. The lyrics are the last verse of Janis Joplin's 'The Rose'</div>

It's hard to tell from this picture but I 'fussy cut' the Octopodes and pop dotted them for dimension. I love working with these little guys.<br />

It's been weeks since I did an update, I won't hit you all at once but it is graphic intesive, I've made the files small enough that they should load quickly. As always you can click them to make them bigger if you'd like.</div>

This first one was for a collage class they are offering at Wild Precious. I got out of my dark colors for this one and added lots of things that make me happy. How I forgot coffee, I'll never know...other than that, I'm happy with it.</div>

Here's another technique I learned at Wild Precious. I'm not real happy with the colors, I may change them yet, I may leave them and just do another page, but you see the circle on the right page with the flowers over it.......</div>

Heres a couple of pages for my<a href="http://wildprecious.ning.com/group/elements"> Elements of Art Journaling</a>* at Wild Precious Studio. We are working with earth, air, water, fire, and spirit.

I would like you to know that there is the most <i>amazing</i> group of women working on this project!! The humor, knowledge, and talent that they share is blowing me away!<br />

Did you notice the recycled bread tags I used for tabs for the different elements?</div>
<br />
We did some 'Clustering' or brainstorming with the elements. (yep I know it's a mess, just like my brain at the moment). It may very well get completely redone before I''m done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were also supposed to gather some pictures together that remind us of the elements.<br />

I made a pocket page in the front of the book to save those till I find where they will go. Just for good measure, I made a 'background' page for some of those pictures.<br />
