Work in Progress...done!

So, I'm done1 Took me a little longer than I thought, but, I finished it today!. Life got in the way this week! I colored in more of the zentangles with the Faber Castell big brush markers, deepen the shadows on her face and colored the background teal. I decided I did not like the background, at all,so, I cut it out and put her on a black background. I think it's much better!

Work in Process #3

I have filled in some of the zentangles, colord her eyes and did more shading on her face.

Work in Process...Step 2

Well, I remembered pictures!  I really wasn't sure where I was going with this piece, so, I just started shading a little on the face...hoping she would talk to me! I used some watered down  teal paint to shade the face and add a little more color to the background.  It seems like  hair always presents problems for me.  I really struggle with it.  As I looked at all the different colors in the background, zentangles came to mind.  I penciled in a few and decided that was the way I would go. After I finished most of the zentangles, she reminded me of a warrior.

  I will name this piece for my daughter, Lisa, who last week, had her one year check-up following
a stem cell transplant.  She has been battling Hodgkins Lymphoma for three years...She is now cancer free!!  She is a true warrior!

Works in progress

I always seem to have so many works in progress...I counted seven and that's just projects in my journals. I'll try and post pictures as I work on them and explain my process a little.  I just get involved and forget to take photos!  But, I will do my best!  The backgrounds are painted, I thinks they were scraped on with a credit card. One of them was gessoed for the face before I drew it.  The other was not.

Be yourself!

This journal page was done for the April challenge on the Artist in Blogland challenge.  It was fast and easy!  I had a gelli print background I did a few weeks ago. I id a little stamping on the background, then,  I cut out the figure and glued her down. really like this image!  I printed out the words, glued them down and outined around them...finished!

When a door opens...

This is another collage done, again, on a gelli print background.....I think I'm addicted! While I was working on this piece I got Jessica Sporn's stencil, Windows and Doors, in the mail.
http://stencilgirlproducts.com/stencils-9x12/view/756 I decided to incorporate it into the piece. I didn't have much room left, but, I was able to stencil one of the doors and print out one of the quotes.
