Still no computer, but some art

Posted on | December 29, 2006 | 4 Comments

I’ve been doing a lot of art the past few days. It keeps me from fretting about the computer, you know? 

So I’ve been working on quite a few journal pages, taking my time with them, creating lots of fun backgrounds in-between. I was able to get the computer to recognize my card reader for a short time, so I was able to add this one photo for the blog. This is all made up of old journal pages and then I painted in the image of the woman. She’s not done, but she’s making her way there! I’m hoping to do more on this during the weekend. I’m taking my time with this one, watching it come to be what it wants when it wants…

Today I’ve been experimenting with my Caran d’ Ache Neocolor II’s and trying to find other ways to use them. I created some backgrounds with them, using liquid matte medium. It allowed me some of the flexibility that using water doesn’t allow. I can now layer the colors, creating more depth without adding a lot of bulk. I’m hoping to show this off soon. But again, the card reader is, shall we say, persnickity…

I hope you all have a happy New Year, in case I don’t get a chance to log on over the weekend. And I look forward to blogging with you all in 2007!
