This happens to me when I sketch faces, and when I try to duplicate them, well.....I never can seem to do that. So...I chose these 2 faces from my journal and decided to do something with them--
First, I printed them out on to dictionary pages--
...this is one of my favorite ways to use sketched faces.
They always help me bring the piece together--
I always add more color to the faces with paint or water-soluble crayons or pitt pens or whatever--just to bring them back to life again. Sometimes I like them better than the original. These 2 are on 6 x 6 gallery wrapped canvases, another favorite of mine, because I can continue the art around the sides too.

I love the Wish, dream vision one! Her face is so serene and I just love the way the print is balanced so evenly behind. Both pieces really turned out beautiful. You are right, we need to reuse our own artwork in different ways..time saving and still original.
wow!! these are just gorgeous!! Hugs Juls
What an amazing result Diane. A great combination of papers, your lovely drawings, the colours....so creative...lovely!
greetings, Alie :-)
wow the results are stunning, thank you for so much inspiration. x
Such beautiful pieces! Very inspirational words.
It is hard to imagine that creative mind of yours ever getting stuck! Beautiful work, as always. I like the way the profile image looks sort of like there is a torn frame around it. Very nice depth.
Love these! What a great idea to save your art work on the computer and then print them out over and over. Brilliant!

You are so fearless with the 3d inclusions on your canvas. Very nice.
Beautiful pieces, love how the faces turned out on the pieces. Printing them on dictionary pages is brilliant!
So beautiful...I love this idea. Thank you for sharing!
That is such a GREAT idea. I love keeping an art journal for that reason - inspiration from ourselves. :) Beautiful canvases!!
Thank you for the great tip~!! I kind of stopped painting for a while being a busy mommy to my kids..now I'm starting again.. will try to visit your site more often~ :)
Such an awesome idea! I love that you create something new from art you have already loved making :)
I'm going to put this on my list of things to try this year. Thank you for the inspiration!
These are beautiful ! Yes, I love taking bits from one piece and using it to inspire another. It always feels good that it is uniquely yours too !
Happy Creating !
Nice - I love your reuse of your drawings copied on dictionary pages - such a cool idea! Really lovely!
Your pages here are fantastic! Your idea of printing on dictionary pages never occured to me, and I love the interest and texture that creates.
I've been away from blogging for a while, but I'm so happy to have found yours again. Your work looks fabulous!
