Really? Week Six Already?

Here are this week's women:

This first piece is collage and acrylic paint on canvas. She is my very first acrylic painted lady. The collage material was pretty napkins. I separated the 2 layers of the napkin and affixed the printed piece to canvas with acrylic medium.

This lady needs little introduction. She was the basis of Thursday's tutorial. (If you missed it, check out last week's post.

Love this lady with her calm in the midst of happy chaos (something I endeavor to mimic). She is done with Derwent Inktense pencils and Sharpie Paint pens.

These 2 pages were done as a demo at the Whatcom Art Guild Spring Art Show this past weekend. Collage and acrylic paint and embroidery. The lady with the leaves for hair was embroidered onto a fabric softener sheet and affixed to the page with acrylic medium. The crowned lady was a hand-cut stamp created from a photograph of my then 3 year old God-daughter, Kira. Here she is stamped onto the page using acrylic paints.

I hope to use new techniques this week. And I hope you dare to try new things this week as well. Be sure to check back on Thursday for the 2nd Tutorial Thursday.

And in the meantime, remember I believe in you more than you know. You are strong, creative and worthy of all good things today. Truly.

And I love you. Bunches.
