page ten. i watercolored the black areas and then used water soluble portfolio crayons to color the shapes and then i added some journaling and some stamping. this one is cooler in person. more vibrant and the watercolor part looks really cool.

Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page ten. i watercolored the black areas and then used water soluble portfolio crayons to color the shapes and then i added some journaling and some stamping. this one is cooler in person. more vibrant and the watercolor part looks really cool.

page nine. i did not do anything to this page, but i did another trace and rub to put the design on page ten.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page eight. i painted the sky a little bit to lighten it up and when i saw the stairs i just knew it had to be the setting for a really cool fashion show. this was very fun!Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page seven. i loooooove this page. i am quite proud of it and i hope Lizabeth likes it because i sure wanted to keep it. i used a piece of velum and a charcoal pencil to trace the shapes of the image on page eight then turned the velum pencil-side down and rubbed it to transfer the lines. then i watercolored it and put on the pieces of papyrus-like paper and the dress forms.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page six. i was playing with gesso techniques on this one. i painted on the gesso and then scratched words into three sides of the page and the squiggly border for the journaling. after it dried i put some paint and some ink wash on it for color. it is prettier in person than in this picture.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page five. i just took some sandpaper to the sky and the black railing area. the texture from the corrugated paper on page three showed up on the upper left side when i sanded.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page four. this one was the inspiration for page three and i did not do anything to it, but i just looooooooove this iron work. it looks like it might be balcony stuff.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page three. i put some funky textured materials on a page i had covered with masking tape for fun. to sort of look like building materials or something. then i journaled about what a house would have in the design if i designed it myself and printed it out on a transparency sheet and stapled it on the page.Lizabeth's Gaudi calendar
page two. i did some funky painting and some collage and some journaling, just having some fun.

Playing with slide mounts
well, apparently the gel medium is not dry yet. 'work' is on a piece of acetate and the chess piece is from an envelope someone sent me a long time ago. do i keep everything? why, as a matter of fact, i do!
Playing with slide mounts
slide mount i painted a long time ago and never used. the bar code is from a reorder tag i found somewhere and the 'R' is a zetti alphabet stamp
Playing with slide mounts
i love birds and nests and eggs. this is basic gray paper and a crown i don't even know where i got
Playing with slide mounts
someone sent me this cutout of a slide mount. i would love to find the die they used to cut it. it is much more precise than what i do with a pencil and scissors
