Jeudi Journal - An Acquired Taste

This week the quote is "I am an acquired taste, if you don't like me acquire some taste" and I almost used the figure in the bathing suit.  In fact I had the figure in the bathing suit with her hand held out, the one with her legs bent and one other but I decided to use this clothed figure, below, because I liked the stance she was taking.  

Hands on hips and the arrogant look on that head seemed to fit perfectly with the words for this week.  As her head is quite large compared to her body she certainly has the look of someone who would be an acquired taste.  Her glittery eyelashes and the decorations in her hair along with the outfit she is wearing all adds to the picture in my mind.  


She has to have someone to be addressing and so I chose two of my small figures.  One normally has a telephone to stand on and the receiver for his head so I cut as much as I could off but after I had stuck it down I realised I could have cut the phone dial from the bottom and covered it up with the Indigo ink of the trousers.  Ah well, I must remember next time.

The background was, again, an inked one which I had done previously and I added my favourite 'Diamonds in the Rough' stencil with Indigo Blue to make a stark contrast.  I hardly ever use Indigo but I am becoming fond of it so watch out I think it will feature again.

Well, that is October over, it seems to have come and gone so quickly.  I think I had better get some "C" cards done before it is too late.  First of all though, what is the next quote?
