Over at UK Stampers the journal theme for this week is fashion. I have never really been a follower of fashion ..rather spend money on art stuff! I dont like the fashion magazines and tv programmes which criticize what people are wearing as I think everyone should have their own style. So using the words fearless, controversy, signature style I had fun playing around with various magazine images and cut out painted stars on this page. The background is painted and I have added pastels and charcoal over the paint to give it more texture. I ran out of gesso so just used thinned down white paint to bring it all together.
While I was waiting in the van on the school run I did this quick sketch in 5 mins...its not bad and the moral is always keep a sketchbook and pencil with you for when you have a bit of time to spare.

great page. I don't do clothes either. well, I do WEAR clothes :D !! but it's just jeans and a hoodie for me most of the time, nothing fancy.
It's a VERY vibrant piece, Lorraine and I think that you have transmitted your feelings into the page.
I am not a follower of fashion,either. i prefer to to be me and to suit my own tastes, rather than be a 'sheep' of fashion.
I totally agree!
Everyone should be happy with what they wear--an extension of their personality. The U.S. is swamped with those awful shows about people and their clothing...I find them mean and boring, not to mention it teaches a narrow view to younger folks.
So here is to Your Art! Hip Hip Hurrah!
Your own style...it rocks.
So do the art supplies we can buy with the extra cash... :-)
XXOO~~♥

Both are fantastic, Lorraine! You´re a great artist!
YOu are most prolific these days. I like the shoes in your journal page, but wouldn't want to have to wear them, a pair of wellies suits me better. xox Corrine

Yes, I agree...everyone should hve their own style, whether it is fashion, home decor, or art. Your piece said it in a nutshell.
