I had an image in mind that I wanted to use (a woman with a cabbage in her stomach and baby in the cabbage...how non-cute can you get!!!), I even had a rubber stamp of a baby in a womb...it was in a grab bag that I got ages ago and always wondered why on earth I kept it, not my style at all, but as things go, it worked fine for this page. So the lady/baby/cabbage image was added to some watercolour paper via a Sheer Heaven transfer, as well as another image of Venus up the top left by the same method. Some watercolour crayons next with some water spritzing for colour, some stamping in a soft grey, then some Moon Shadow Mist sprays, a couple of crosses stamped & embossed in 2 different colours were added, as was some copper german scrap and some swarovski crystals.....almost finished! I wanted to have somewhere for the baby's details so I printed out a sheet with Baby's Name, Date of birth, Baby's Weight, Baby's Length....all in Italian (just looked better and suited the Renaissance feel a little more). I'm going to ask a friend (are you there Charmaine B????) to write the details in calligraphy after the birth, a nice touch to finish it off. Stop typing and stick the pictures in.....okay.....
So now this one is out of the way, next project for me is to finish off my Forensics chunky pages and make a canvas for a swap with another good friend....hiya Barb.....then think about the next chunky pages, think the theme is gothic??? Going to love that one too!
Take a look at a fantastic little atc that the very lovely Dot sent to me this week. There's so much texture & dimension in it with the little crystals, the fluffy fibre bits, the bulgy eyes, the black german scrap wings.....gorgeous....and I LOVE that tree image on the egg body, just wonderful!!! Thanks Dot, it's very much appreciated ;-)
