Art Journal !
Yes finally got back to working in my
Art Journal.
First worked on this inches design.
The concept came from the latest copy of
Somerset Studio magazine. The same idea was shown with instructions to repeat this.
Well I mostly followed the instructions. But still used my own ideas too. I had fun finding the papers to cut into inches!
I have also been working on
my Suzi Blu Petit Dolls.
I should be working on creating backgrounds on to wood, but as yet not got the wood sorted out. DH said he had the wood in the shed but as it needs cutting to size it willbe another week before I can start.
So thought I would use one of the first girls I had drawn to try out a few techniques Suzi has been covering in the videos.
I don't think I have got the 'push/pull' quite right. The background is too strong for her. I do like her dress. As I was working on paper I could stitch the buttons on .... How will I do that when working on wood !?!?!
I had also been worried about the legs and arms, but in the end cut these from a piece of checked paper.
Once I have wood to work on - I need to spend longer on building the back ground. Also I know that although I love the Wiccian lady I had drawn, I really love the simple shapes that this girl has. So lets walk before we run !

Hello Zoë,
I read trough some of your posts and I see you love Suzi Blue too !!!
I've followed two of her online classes to learn how to draw girls ( I even have bought wood in several sizes...), but I didn't come around to draw a lot yet.
This vacation I have so much to catch up with !
The techniques she teaches are so usefull, not only to use for the girls, but to make backgrounds for other mixed media stuff.
I looked through your photos too and now I know why I feel connected... your a good witch too :)
i'm not a real practicing witch, but I do really believe in the rule of three ! I love witches and gnomes and elves and wizzards and anything fantasy already whole my life ! I loved to see the photos of the wickerman and the celebration.
I saw also pictures of "iron bridge". Do you live far away from there ? My husband comes every year to Telford for a big modelscale-event and he said the surroundings in Telford ( for example iron bridge, some museums,..) are well worth to visit and he asked me already several times to come with him and his friends.
I just don't want to go to the model scale event... so maybe if I come with him, we could meet ? ( if you don't live to far...) . Just an idea that popped up in my head...
greetings from Belgium
Inge
