For the past couple of weeks these pages have been in various states of completion, with layers of work. From paint, to sewing, to ephemera, pastels, crayons, pencils, inks, paints, watercolours. I thought the pages were done, and then I saw potential faces in a few pages and once I started adding faces, I found faces on all the spreads.
Finally they are done. All the colours of the rainbow, doing these pages made me ridiculously happy, and not just about using up ephemera out of my hoarding box! :) I didn’t intend for the faces to all be so different, but they are, and I like them.
I am also very glad they are now finished and can be crossed off my to-do list.
And I am linking to Paint Party Friday this week. Always so supportive and encouraging, and the inspiration is incredible!! :)
love them all !!! you re a very talented girl !!
I love the vibrancy of these illustrations – they have a Tim Robbins ‘corpse bride’ quality to them in that they are a little spooky and surreal and totally wonderful!
Wow what stunning colours…. and great girls. I love them all. Its good to use up some of your ephemera stash too!
I totally agree with pointypix, I was going to say that they have the feel of Tim Burton about them – especially that second blue one. Love them and the texture of the backgrounds. Fabulous!
Wow! These are stunning, love love the colours.
intense colors! i love it! and the faces look interesting… with character… triggers a question or a beginning of a story… melinda alpha#35

Wow! I love all the color on your journal and all the different faces and expressions!
The intensity of your colours is marvellous.
Happy Creating.
These are great! I love all the colour and the way you have applied paint in such an expressionistic way. i also like the way you have layered paint over collage- and most of all I like those amazing faces set in their own little environment. I would love for you to share your work on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Gorgeous and wild, I love love your work!!
The second one particularly captured my attention – love the orange and green!
Very fun. I love the color theme! I’m working on some journal pages right now and it’s very inspiring to see what others are doing. Thanks for sharing.
Natasha, I adore the rainbow painted pages, the girls that bloomed and evolved on the page, just wonderful!!! The first of the blues is my favorite {but only if forced to select a favorite}. I love the painted images over the texture of the layers beneath.
