I've been asked to produce a sample for Marisa from Create on Ormond where my 101 series of art journaling classes starts this weekend. Marisa asked me to use a Donna Downey face stamp,so I thought what better way to showcase her than as a mixed media portrait!
I went with my muse for this month - the flower portraits from the Italian Masterpieces exhibition that I went to and blogged about here. The stamp I chose is "SHE IS" - which I already had in my stash as I love her!:
So in keeping with my new resolution to provide a little "more" for my followers, I have produced this video of my process. I have taken on board the helpful comments I received from you about my first video attempt - I faced the camera (who doesn't hate themselves on video?) and sped up the "non-speaking" sections a little more.
I hope that you enjoy, and please provide me with feedback!

ReplyDeleteThankyou!!
Deletegreat video Elizabeth, keep 'em coming :)
ReplyDeleteI was there as you were creating this and I think you a doing a great job with creating the videos, great work Liz! I alao think that 'She Is' very impressive
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement guys! I'm recording Art Journaling 101 at the moment - some of which will be available for free. I'll try and slip some other art into the recording mix, but I'm still pretty slow at editing - it currently takes me longer to edit the video than to make the art!!
ReplyDeletewow gorgeous work Liz, I had issues with vimeo so couldn't watch the video but love the work!
ReplyDeleteHi Cass,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the page!
so sorry to hear about your vimeo issues :( - I had to take everything off youtube and move it over to vimeo because youtube kept shoving ads into my videos! grrrr...
I really love you work Liz and I can't believe I have the original in my shop!!! No wonder you have so many supplies to play with the end results are truly inspirational....
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa! The supply thing is a bit chicken and egg - I can't resist buying art supplies, so I need to justify using them, which means there is always something else that I want...
