Life Book 2013 week 3

This week the wonderful Christy Tomlinson showed us how to make delicious (for the eyes only) flowers using aluminum foil and painted papers.  The video was great - I just am not usually as free in my creating as Christy is - I need to loosen up a little.  But - this got me a bit out of my usual space - much more layering in the red/pink "frame" than I would normally do.  Of course, I had to make some paper grass - heaven forbid my flowers were just floating there (LOL).  I am loving this class - got my creative juices flowing again.  It's not too late to join - go here to check out the fabulous Tamara LaPorte and all the terrific teachers involved.   Since this is my only finished work this week - I am listing it on  Paint Party Friday hosted as usual by the terrific team of Eva and Kristin.  Go and check all the wonderful art work listed there.

    1. Hi there - I have tried to fix this many times - I think I have to take my blog out of dynamic view to fix it or get off Google+ completely. I'll look into it again. Thanks for your wonderful comments!
