There's No Place Like Home

Back home and could't wait to use my new Dyan Reaveley Dylusions stamps, Right Up Your Street, to celebrate my joy in my humble home.


I used clearance rack foam sheets to make textured background and Inktense pencils to color the houses and letters.  I love the Stampin Up blender to bring liquify the ink pencils.

Alluring Beauty

I had a month away from home, and I had few art supplies.  I decided to use this time to practice drawing faces.  I downloaded Jane Davenport's Whimsical Faces and purchased a couple of basic instructional booklets.  Practice and practice...I filled three Stratmore visual journals with sketches and then went back to colorize them.  I also tried drawing different ethnic looks.  I printed several to use in collages.  This is a study in black and white called Alluring Beauty.
