After a busy few weeks helping out at the craft show, doing my Copic accreditation and then attending the Fantasia Bush meets Country retreat I am exhausted. I have fallen asleep on the lounge every night this week. Today is the first time I feel ready to get back into my craft room.
I thought I would start by colouring a few images and making some cards. I should be working on christmas cards but just cant get into it yet.
I was browsing the copic blog and discovered they had a feathering challenge, as this was something I learned at the accreditation day I thought I would give it a go. This is my first ever finished image using this technique. I much prefer the stronger coloured images so this was a real challenge for me, I look at it and feel like it is missing something..........in the end I had to put down my markers and just be happy with it the way it is.
I feathered the skirt, the hat, the socks and the clothing in Tilda's suitcase. The yellow I have used on the clothing in the suitcase has photographed green unfortunately, in real life it is a very soft lemony colour.
I will definately keep trying to perfect this technique, I cant wait to try lots of other colour combo's. There are so many things I learned from Kathy and Johnnie at Penrith last week, I hope they have the imtermediate course up and running for next year.
Bye for now as I am off to the Hunter tommorrow to see Crowded House, theres nothing like revisiting your past.
