Norah's Girl in the journal




I am loving Sharon's class and this is my tryout before I commit it to canvas which is prepared and ready. I have never used napkins to collage with before so I decided to try it in the journal. I am surprised that this notebook paper would even hold up to all that I did to it. The house is a gel transfer, the flowers are napkins collaged on and the face has many layers of acrylic paint. Well, I guess I am ready for the 5x5 canvas.
Oh, and guess what I bought yesterday??? A laserjet printer!!! Yay!! Now I can do great transfers. I got the cheapest HP that they had and it works great. I am excited!

  2. Oh there is nothing like new toys to generate the Muse. I love the whole design on this piece, that house in the background is perfect and it all reminds me of "Charmed". Hugs

  5. So lovely! You have inspired me to sign on to Sharon's class too & I'm just waiting for approval to go through... *sigh*

    I love the way you incorporated the different elements in this piece. I already have ideas churning in my head of using images of places I've been and hope to go to again.
    Blessing on you!
