Each lesson in the Radiant II workshop is actually two lessons. First there's the lesson provided by the guest instructor. And then there is another lesson where Effy does her own take on the guest teacher's lesson. I hope I explained that okay. Anyhoo, for me that is so valuable, because it demonstrates how you can learn from another artist, and still come up with something that is entirely different and uniquely you.
Anyhoo, this first page is inspired by Effy's take on Dyan Reavelry's lesson on hidden journaling. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I used hidden journaling in two ways on this page. One is the journaling on top in silver...
and the other one is hidden behind the silhouette... 
This page is inspired by Felicia Borges' lesson. It involves a background resist technique with acrylic paint and distress stain (you can see it in the background - it's the hot pink and dark blue.).

ReplyDeleteI am so glad i visited your blog. These pages have tons of techniques to try.So inspiring.I loved the patterns, the bright colours.I think i'll start journaling right away now, when i have so much to do :)Thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThese are really great! It is fun to see a completely different take off of a class that was originally taught to convey ideas on portrait making going astray of the intended purpose. These are my favorite kind of pages and are usually the most fun to create! Thanks for sharing these with us, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You mentioned how Effy does her own take on the guest artist lessons well I love how you participate in so many different classes with so many artists and still make them all uniquely you; they always have the Michelle vibe.
ReplyDeleteI like both pieces but I really LOVE the top one, with the hidden journaling. Fabulous!
