Jeudi Journal - In My Experience

Today's words from Dyan via Dylusions are "In My Experience I Am Right" and I actually had a page that was almost perfect for it.  Well, almost right for it.

A while ago I had made this Dylusion bird, originally from bits from magazines and with the words 'judgement upon ur fellows' on him, and I felt that this worked in quite nicely with this particular page I was about to make.  He has an angry look about his face don't you think?

The background was made  with a brayer using Dylusion paints with a numerical stencil on in places which I went over with white pen.  There were some cherry bits of paint on and I almost added more but then decided to do a bit of stamping using chocolate ink.  Once the background was finished I had to decide on the figure so what else could I use but one standing with her hands on her hips?

The fact that the figures are pushed over to the left hand side is to emphasise that there is a little bit of intimidation going on - hope that shows.

If I was making the point that I was correct about something, anything, especially to a big bird like that with ginormous feet and a mean look in his eye I think I would have my hands on my hips just like her.

So here it is - my page for today:

Brilliant, just love that bird, it is very intimidating. I would not like to argue with it.

VERY quirky! The figures are both perfect. Love the number b/g - one of my favourite things. Wish I could see to read the words on his feet. That's a brilliant figure to make from magazine bits. I'm always amazed at what people pick up in mags but I just don't buy them - or come across them. Love the way she's coloured.
Looks as if you've been busy, which is GOOD news! I hope ;-)

Hope all is well...I'll check soon. AEDM wasn't a brilliant idea this year - had no time for anything else!
