Life Book Week 11

 

Week 11 was kind of fun.

Mitsi B (Michelle Kral) was our guide.

The title of the lesson was 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'

She gave us a really funny video to start the project!

The idea of the lesson is accepting (and connecting with)

the ugly side of me. My bad side. My weak side.

I actually did many progress photos.

So I'll take you through it.

 

 First I oozed on acrylic paints, SU ink drips and gelato scribbles. 

I sprayed water on and mushed it around.

I did that a few times till I liked it.

 

 I did the drip thing with the Stampin Up inks.

Did some stencils, stamped some circles with a cardboard tube.



 I wrote some opposite words.

Broken - Whole

Weak - Strong

And more....

I watered it all down.

 And then I wrote-

Love me? Love my ugly.

Two halves make a whole.

Love All of me.

Then I dripped more and colored more

and smeared the words around.

I stamped the little polky dots with Stazon Ink.

It made a nice background.

And then I used an empty cardboard washi tape circle

and black acrylics to stamp bigger circles.

It was time for the monsters.

MY monsters.

I used gelatos and Neocolor II's for more transparency.

Then more words and some tapes,

and I decided I was done.

 I was trying to make it all ugly.

It is almost too cartoony.

But I like it! 

 Love me...Love my ugly.
