Catching up



Just had a week away in Dorset but managed to get my documented life project for week 33 done. It was to use under papers i.e. the paper you put underneath to catch drips of paint, etc. Well I didn't have anything messy but I did have watercolour pencils, Big brush and Pitt Pens. So after making a little project I then had under papers and sketched over to create this girl and therefore my page from the week. When I had glued her down onto my page I decided to add some colour and the under paper was so thin that my colouring picked up the matrix of the dry adhesive, I quite like the effect it created...a happy accident!


I am going to share this over at Paper Saturdays. and AJED.

  3. Brilliant. She looks so thoughtful. Hope it wasn't that windy on your holiday all the time- it looks like your project might have been inspired by the storms last weekend?
