make your own fortune in life (collage obsession)

I was looking at the Richard Hamilton "Just what is it......". collage today and wanted to do a similair journal page when I spotted this mans photo in a magazine. I was reading the paper today and it was saying that a lot of women still get up 10 mins earlier so that their husband will never see them without perfect makeup...I find this really sad and it got me thinking about the topic of image. The words written on the hand say "the image is one thing and the human being is another. Its very hard to live up to an image". The challenge over at collage obsession is to use this wheel of fortune picture and I think that is so important to make your own fortune in life..be sure to check out the other collage obsessions!

always remember when one door closes another happy door opens in life..

We had to draw our front door for this milliande prompt. I have used a mixture of graphite and caran d ache watercolour pencils for this one. Visited The Works shop today and got a great book called Master the art of drawing for £2.99, some more paints and a sketch book...love bargains dont you! Have a good weekend everyone.

"123. journal page..." theme thursday fav number

I have been playing around in my journal again as havent been well this week to do much..I think the expression on her face sums up my week..fed up of feeling so lethargic and achey. My favourite number is 123..as it usually signals the beginning of something..

Just had to share a little drawing my eldest son gave me last night after doing his writing practice..so thoughtful and kind and accompanied by a big hug
