the documented life - weekly challenge 13
Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 11:30AM Welcome to Week 12 of The Documented Life Project!
March 22 - Have Someone Draw on Your Page - You Finish It!
I loved this week's challenge. I asked my daughter to draw something for me. She agreed, but wanted to draw on a pretty piece of deli paper. I handed her a large sheet and she went to town. Ten minutes later I had this...a teeny tiny violin. I was so surprised she drew it so small. She said it is easier to draw small things, rather than large things. I never knew, but thinking about it, I think she may just be right.
As luck would have it, my tip in this week happened to be a gelli print I created a while back. I loved all the bright color and so with her teeny tiny gelli print I was able to create a super colorful collage around her adorable image.
I incorported bits and pieces of what she loves and made a note of what it takes to have a hobby like hers.
Lastly, I incorporated pieces of my favorite art journal pages ( I cut these up and ran them through the Xyron to turn them into stickers ), tiny letter stickers and lots of painted deli paper strips which I attached using a glue stick.
I love carrying around just another little piece of my LIFE with me - isn't this project the best thing ever?
