Week 11 Documented Life Project

This weeks challenge:  Collage, photograph or draw a bird.
I used digital elements from Tangie Baxter and Graphics Fairy to create this page. Nice and simple.

Fairies in Nature

Mid February I started a new on-line class, Fairies in Nature with the talented Val Webb.

Documented Life Project.

In January I joined an on line group called Documented Life Project, part planner, part journal and part challenge.
Each week we are given an artistic challenge which we record in our journal. Most of the group is using a Moleskine weekly planner, but I could not source one in time, I am still waiting for it to arrive, so I found an old encyclopaedia and altered it to suit my needs.

I missed out on the first few challenges, sitting waiting for the Moleskine to arrive, so have started at week 7.

Have not blogged since goodness knows when, so will post the first few challenges now and hopefully post weekly from now on!
