"I didn't get to be this fabulous overnight" is this week's quote from Dyan chosen by Wendy again. One which I thought of fairly easily, as far as the figure was concerned, well, thought of two figures and decided on this one in the end, but had no idea what to do as the background. Again it is a background done with Distress Inks, simply because that is easiest for me to use at the moment, A bit of stencilling (again DI's) and some stamping at the base
In the end I decided she could be outdoors, lounging in the garden showing off her fabulous long legs and spotty tights. Her friend is not as glamorous as she is with rather a large head for her body but no doubt amused at the little caterpillar who is looking at the glam girl. I adore that caterpillar and just had to use it - thankfully the spectacled figure, on the right, was pointing to something so why not use the caterpillar?
Because of Erika's challenge on Art Journal Journey I decided to add some little butterflies, bees and bug type flies in the sky - the theme is "In the Sky/In the Air". I haven't been able to enter as much as I would have liked to owing to my being busy with my teabag workshop which is thankfully now over, so grasped the opportunity with this challenge page.
The other idea I had was to use the body-suit figure with tights and high heels on but it would have been more or less the same with another figure alongside and a similar background - a bit more obvious I thought for the quote. Most times I find it difficult to think up a scene to match a quote but that is part of the challenge - makes a change when you are stuck between two.
Can't think what to do for next week but am ok with the week after - well, in my head that is - just got to execute it! That is if I remember what I thought of!
