Another entry for Erika's challenge on Art Journal Journey. Very similar to the last one with the Teesha Moore type border and the figure cut from various parts of magazines in the centre on a brayered background. I am not good with a brayer and these pages were covered rather quickly so the border covers up most of the background and it doesn't remind me of what I cannot do.
This time I have a rather quirky lady in the centre of my page, again sitting on a brayered background. Actually it is a "clean off background" just like the previous one where I have literally pounced the brayer over the page when I have been brayering something else. Hence all the white bits. She reminds me of Sue Pollard from 'Hi De Hi' fame. Do you like her hair which was done with a white pen? The top of her body is a handbag, the skirt is a hat and I drew a cobweb effect on for a veil. She has a pair of rather shapely polka-dot legs hasn't she - well tights I suppose. She must have her arms tucked inside her top as you cannot see them (did I forget them - only I know the truth?)
Again most of the criteria set by Erika has been covered, I just missed out on the tartan again, but you can see patterns and stripes and more dots in the frame. Will I do another one? We will have to wait and see, I certainly have enjoyed supporting Erika and Art Journal Journey with these collages. Why do I enjoy quirky stuff so much?

So glad I noticed your Blog update... these are both fab - this one and the following one. Looks as if you've had SO MUCH fun making them, Neet! Your humour shows through and they really did make me smile from ear to ear.
Teesha is one of my heroines - I LOVE her art but I stopped visiting when she changed the format - maybe I ought to revisit. She is SO talented :-) AND her lettering is amazing!
Brilliant for AJJ and just for fun. What a cheer up blog post!
Have fun with your visitors...I will reply - I have Wendy on her way round this aft, so my playtime is very limited :-( I'm in danger of becoming a recluse!

This is another WOWSER! I am thrilled Neet! Thank you so much fo ahring another fantastic piece with AJJ this month ! You rock!
Big hugs, Susi
That IS quirky, Neet. I really enjoyed it. It took me awhile to see the hat turned skirt, but I finally saw it. Really quite clever all round. You have definitely done Erika's theme proud and we are SO thrilled for your support at Art Journal Journey.
Love your quirky humour Neet, and how you 'see' things so differently - a hat for a skirt, and handbag for a bodice... such fun
Blessings

You've really been having lots of fun with this patterns theme, haven't you?! I love this magazine woman, teetering on her heels and the Teesha-style border is fabulous.
