Journal - Window

Wendy's choice this morning, grey and red.  "Window" for the topic.

Fortunately I had just used the Slate Grey on another journal page and so I was able to get this page primed at the same time as the last one.  Now I just had to sort out the red window.  Knowing what larks I had had trying to get Funky Fuchsia to 'pop' I began drawing my window lightly in pencil but as I progressed I thought twice about it and drew it instead on a piece of red cardstock.

I agonised over whether this was the right decision as I detest cutting out apertures and there were nine of them here (didn't say, it was a template I was using).  Should I revert to my original plan and do windows as in Playschool of old?  No, there will not be many people who remember that old TV programme.  And so I carried on and was quite pleased that I managed cutting without any major slip ups.

Next thing was to find some heads that would fit inside the windows.  I rather liked the one in the top left as you look at it with the hair all floating outside the window and so I gave her a pal with a huge hairstyle too - they both work in a hair salon you see.

I just simply called it "Inside the Red Window" but as you can see I had to split the word 'window' - I think it works quite well like that.  I left it there but later decided to have some 'chit chat' down the other side which looked a bit lost and so we get lots of short lines, beginnings of conversations etc.  After all that is what a group of women/girls would do isn't it!

This is the first of my "real" scheduled posts because I am not at my desk, in fact I am not at home.  Now you know the reason for the other two having been scheduled as well - I just had to do the posts in order (why?) in readiness for my short hope over the sea.

See you next week!
