Serendipity

Hello lovely visitors. Doday I am sharing the latest piece I created for the classes I am doing with Lifebook.
The teacher for this class was Lucy Brydon, who like me live in Scotland. She is a wonderful artist and I fellt really inspired by her class and plan to make one or two more pieces.

I can't tell you of course how it was done, all I will say is that there was a gelli plate involved.
One of the things I love so much about the Lifebook classes is that they make me use some of my art supplies that have been neglected for years. I can't wait now to do some more playing with my gelli plate :o)

The animal I chose is a coyoti, and of course there had to be the inevitable moon he howls up to.

Well, that's iti for today, short and sweet. I apologize for not visiting in the last few days, I hope to do better at the weekend.
Have a lovely weekend everyone whe  it comes, and thanks for your visit like always.

  6. This is gorgeous Astrid. I love the background, and how the wolf is almost ghost like and is a part of the background. It was smart to add some texture to him. Hope the week is going well. Hugs-Erika

  9. Beautiful - what deep rich colours, and I love your use of pattern and texture - the coyote looks fabulous with that textured stenciling (I'm guessing it's stenciling!). Love it!

  10. Hi again Astrid,
    I've just seen your comments on my blog - thanks so much for visiting - the leafy dies I used are mainly very cheap unbranded ones from China - they came through Ebay or Ali Express. I find them very good quality and a fraction of the cost of branded ones.

Your Lifebook classes look very inspiring and it must be fun to get creative with the Gelli plate again, mmm maybe another item for my wish list ...lol 😉. Wishing you a very Happy Friday and Weekend!
