http://willowinglove.blogspot.co.uk/p/life-book-2016.html This week in Lifebook 2016 with Ivy Newport Theme:  Patch it up and Make it Shine! In this lesson, we wrote down all of the negative things that we wanted to leave behind in 2015.  Then, we patched it up, making it shining and new, for 2016. For my page, I actually had a lot to leave behind, as 2015 was not kind to me.  Therefore, I had many layers of collage and paint and gesso before I ended up with the art journal page you see here.  I came across this magazine photo and it screamed my name.  I love the lace in her dress and repeated the pattern in the flowers you see using modeling paste.  Along with some charcoal, Art Anthology paints, and some glitter, I made my new year shine!

Here are my cards from the 22nd week in which we did Artist Trading Cards with the theme of "Star Dust". I thought they turned out cute.  I really like the angel one :-)  Anyway, I go the images from a free vintage online clipart website www.thegraphicsfairy.com

I took the free course http://willowing.ning.com/group/theheartofart and this is my painting for lesson #4- the Healing Angel. I LOVE Tam and her Whimsical style of drawing, painting, mixed media, collage.  Plus, she is fun to watch and listen to and she is really helpful :-)  She is also offering the MOST AMAZING class in the world! http://willowing.ning.com/page/life-book-2012-open-for-registration Check it out!  A lot of people are requesting it for Christmas presents this year!  (wink, wink) I signed up and CAN'T WAIT for it to start!
