Shame on me!

Can’t believe this is the first entry this year! Where has the time gone already? I’ve been busy getting some of my backlog of art work done. I sent off my envelope for the Same Image swap to Emma, using a stamp I have never used, strangely enough, and completed my spread in Dawn’s Zebra book, which was odd to say the least but having completed it I was happy to send it home. I also completed what turned out to be a very satisfying spread in Glynis’ Beauty book, to my shame I have had this book for several months now but I am happy with my spreads. I even managed to use a new (to me) technique which was a buzz - transparency transfers using gel medium. My spread was originally going to be called “Black Beauty - and not a horse in sight” (ha!ha!ha!) I printed off the transparencies of gorgeous black women from all over the globe and was set to ‘do’ something with them. When I did the transfers the images weren’t ‘perfect’ but some were distorted or looked a bit abstract or hazy and I was going to bin them but then looking at the transfers I realised that it was still possible to see the beauty in these images and that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder! Soooo my spread changed, and for the better, I think
