Colorful Page

I think this mixed media art page is turning out very colorful and Spring-like... makes me happy!

A nice contrast with my day yesterday, full of contretemps, nonsensical things and red food coloring on my white blouse... ugh...

She is not finished at all, but I wanted to show you a fun WIP. Tomorrow: more hands! Thanks for all the great ideas and suggestions for fun hands!!

Holding hands

Two more for the "Hands in April" challenge! 

 Since I am posting 2, I will be skipping tomorrow, to post another journal page. I am actually going to be trying to make a video and have it ready... sort of difficult for me, but let's see, maybe the video won't be ready tomorrow, but the page deffinitely.

Thanks for all your suggestions! Keep them coming! :oD

Live long and prosper!

Thanks for the suggestion to do Dr Spock's hand, it was fun, and I would've never thought of making that one!

Next I guess will be holding hands, an ugly scary hand, and I am thinking, maybe a baby chubby hand... that would be a challenge!
What other hand ideas would you like to see? Thanks for your comments!
You can join the fun and try to make some hands, you'll surprise yourself with the things you can make!

Journal page

These are the steps for a page in my art journal. It is loosely based on this painting, and I say loosely because the proportions are off and the result is comical... but I really wanted some texture and do something  from centuries ago. This detail is a Madonna by Duccio painted in the 1300's

First I made a drawing, which proved to be a hard task on the left side of the journal. Then I added a base of ochre:

Love! 2 hands today

Thanks for the awesome suggestion of making "heart" hands! I had fun drawing these:

They look a bit too .... hmmm what is the world I want? Scary? Whitchy? haha I mean, they could've been a bit more plump, softer maybe.  Maybe the lines are too harsh, not sure. But overall I am happy with them :o)

I will not post hands tomorrow, because I want to share a journal page in steps, so it was great to have 2 hands for today.
Any other ideas out there? :oD

5th hand, fancy ring

Per request, a fancy ring in a hand for today... but you can tell I am not a jewlery designer! ha!

Next one will be hands making a heart shape, thanks for your input! Love your ideas!
Drop me a comment with more suggestions, and feel free to grab the blog button that I finally made lol

4th hand, thumbs up

I was working on this one, and then it was suggested that I do a thumbs up... so here it goes!

 

I guess the next one will be one with a fancy ring. Don't forget to post a comment with more ideas about hands! 

3rd hand, peace and love

I am really having fun with these hands!

I have been working on dolls for 2 different teams, but I also have been painting a lot, only that I need to scan and I have not done it. I also need to list!

Thanks for visiting and post a comment what kind of hand do you want next... I'd like ideas!(◠‿◠)✌

2nd hand and Face in the world

This is my left hand in what was supposed to be a "reaching" position, but somehow ended up looking just funky. The proportions are a bit off, but it was fun to draw, regardless :o)

Also, for my team in "Face in the world", I finally got the first piece to work on fro Australia!
I am working on it with pencil, can you see the arm there? Then I will add collage and a little color... and get it ready to mail it to the UK

 

 

I will show tomorrow you how mine is looking right now thanks to Manon!

April's hands

Well, I kind of ran out of day! I hope you did not suffer to much through the April's fool day. I myself, didn't feel so great today :oB
Anyway.... I am doing hands for this month of April... play along with me!
This is my hand for today. You can make as many, as big, or as detailed as you want. I am aiming for one a day, let's see how it goes!

Pencil drawing with simple indications of what goes where. I love hands, aren't they interesting?
