~Brag Book~

Inspired by Misty Mawn Altered Photo day Misty's altered photo challenge.
I am creating what's called a "Brag Book".

This is also inspired by the Somerset Workshop Magazine (August 2008 issue)

by artist Shona Cole.

Here are my three altered photos so far

In this little book I'll be bragging about Bijou

my cat.;-)))

I am not to sure how many pages I will make for

the book. I used 81/2 x 51/2 handmade paper

with a coat of gesso on both sides. Just love

working on this.

Will continue with progress on other posts.

"There was a little bird"

Green Wednesday;-)
Inspired by Gustav Klimt 'Two Women One Nude'

There was a little bird so green
Who sang a song so sweet
He went 'tweet,tweet,tweet'
Then to his feathers he preened.

DAY:3

Today I decorated my journal cover as part of Day 3 journal entry for January.
Gessoed part of the cover, and drew a figure. This was based on a photo
I took while walking around the Farmer's Market . It's a favorite spot of mine.
Some of the performing artists are musicians and mime. This woman was
painted in gold from head to toe, and she looked like a statue. I used
different colors to give her more life
