Drawing ~ Documented Life Project


The Documented Life Project:
Week 13. Have someone draw 
on your page.  Finish it.
I didn't strictly have mom draw directly
on my page. This is a copy of a fashion
drawing that she did around 1950 or so.
(Below) She drew with pencil, then
inked with a dip pen and India ink.
I had a copy made on card stock, 
then watercolored it and added the
quote by CoCo Chanel.
Don't you love her drawing?
Thanks Mom!




Week 14.  Write your name. Decorate.
I was inspired by graffiti on railroad cars.
(Below) Sketched in pencil, then
Sharpie pen, then watercolors.




I am having so much fun doing art journals
that not much is getting done around the 
house. But a person has to have priorities...




Above, a page in my Eco Green Smash Book.
When I find bits of art projects that I am 
not sure what to do with, it has been ending
up in the Smash book...if I can make it fit!

Hope you will find time to make 
some art today!

  1. Your Mom is just as talented as you! Or should I have said that the other way around? :) Great drawing and fun quote!

  2. I've seen some of the drawings your mother did, and I have to admit you are definitely a chip off your mother's block. That was a lovely rendition.

    I loved how you wrote your name. It almost jumped out at me, and I didn't even need any of those 3-D glasses, either (grin).

    You should have joined the Inchie challenge some of my British friends are doing. I really love what you did. Now I'm off to try to catch up on your OTHER blog.

  5. You are really productive. That sketch of your mom's?! Wonderful!

    I've seen smash journals around the stores, but I didn't really pick one up. They must have different kinds?
