Lisa's Homage to Art.

As usual when a new journal arrives my first reaction is one of terror as in What on Earth can I contribute that will enhance this beautiful Art Journal that I have received.  This was no different as my art education is very limited to what I learned at school and that was a very long time ago.

I had encountered an artist in a previous journal round who inspired me.  Her name is Bebe Butler.  There was an artist profile on her in an Art Journaling magazine I read and so I decided to try her style.  I also admired Traci Bunkers and used some of her tips for building a background. Acrylic paint, stencils and reverse stencil work.



Step 2 was to collage a face from book text and add neck and shoulders.
 


Next I drew the face and added her jewellery.



Some more stencil work and a quote And I was finished.

I hope this fits in with what you envisioned Lisa.  Once I got started I was fine.  The quote says:
BE STILL and the WHOLE WORLD HEALS WITH YOU.
