.....a Few More Houses

---Still  working  on  houses--but  this  time  on  a  different  surface--

 

 

 

I  had  to  add  my  little  embellies--that  fit  right  in--

 

 

 

--all  together  on  a  cupboard  door--

 

 

 

............and....to  stretch  this  art  a  little  more,  I  cropped  parts  of  it,  and  framed  it--

 

 

--I've  been  loving  framing  my  art  lately...

 

And  one  more  house...of  sort...

 

 

A  box--that  just  happens  to  have  a  house  attached  to  the  top  of  it.   I  really  love  putting  houses  in  my  art--no  place  like  it!  : )

"Birds Of A Feather"

The challenge this week at The Three Muses is birds of a feather, and my birds of a feather gather here:

In their bird house--these are the three elements that I like to use the most in my art (aside from my new obsession with faces), houses, hearts, and birds--so I loved this week's challenge.  To start out with, I used this old cupboard door I had that had  a glass insert--

I then  collaged  text from my favorite over-sized children's book that I have and scrapbook papers--

And then for the bird house I used my scrapbook papers  again--

I love making pictures with papers--kind of like putting a puzzle together.  It's very relaxing for me.

I also wanted to show you a WIP.  Tara doesn't like using that word, but I kind of do, although I've never used it before.  Remember my journal pages from last week?

Well, I started it--I know, I know, I'm a slow-poke, but I started it--

And I know, it's another face--I can't get away from them.  One of the ladies from my Suzi class, Kristen  had posted some of her faces with text on them, and I loved the way that they turned out, so thanks to her, this is what I decided to do.  I keep adding layers to her face, and when I want to preserve what I've done, I just add clear gesso to her, and then I can add more layers.  She kind of looks sad or mad--either way--it's probably because I WON'T LEAVE HER ALONE!!  So I'll leave her be for a while and continue on with these pages.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'll let her tell me.
