A La Dina Wakley Style


I had this Dina Wakley book on pre-order for what seemed like ages!!  When I got back from my skiing holiday it was here waiting for me, but apart from flicking though it at the time, I haven't really done anything else with it, until today that is!!!


This page took my eye, if you have the book it's on page 119.  I had visions of using my new PA mini for the faces and one of the ArtistCellar pod stencils from the set I won.


And here it is.  I used pumpkin soup fresco paint through the stencil and coloured the circles with sky fresco, another new buy last Sunday!!  I was extremely brave and wrote the script myself!!


Page 123 also took my fancy, but then I do love that lonely girl image and use her quite a lot.


And here we are. The altered orange colour is a Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint and the blue is baltic blue from the fresco range along with the lighter blue which is sky.

These were great fun to make!!!

I don't journal either Sam even though I have several waiting for some TLC. Think I'll probably end up giving them away unless we suddenly start getting 48 hour days, lol!

I have to say though you have done a fabulous job with these two pages. I love both of them.

As for the point of journals I can see that if you use them as therapy (if you need it) where you use them to express how you're feeling at the time I can see how they might help. My DS who has been going through such a stressful time this past year even had it suggested to him by his GP as a self help tool especially as he is an art tutor by profession. Think I'm going to set him up with one of my unloved journals ;D!

Great Dina stylee, Sam.

Yeah Lesley I totally agree, but not to make something fab and then hide it away - just doesn't make any sense to me.

But like you say if it's for a personal thing and it stays personal then I get it, but then you'd not be blogging it anyway!!

I rest my case - lol

Thanks for your comment and support!!!!

they look great Sam and very Dina Wakely stylee. I wouldn't journal my personal thoughts in public - not something I feel comfortable with anyway but for arts' sake it's another string to your bow! lol
