WOYWW - 20,000 Leagues !


So, not masses on my desk this week but to the left is yesterday's weekly lesson from my Life Book 2012 course - this one is about collaging your hopes & aspirations for this year.

In the middle is the Triangular Box I had gesso'd up last week - I kept asking it what it wanted to be - and at last it said "a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea piece please" !
So outside will be the scene under the sea - it was the Octopus that swung it for me !!! - and the inside a sort of Steampunk of the inside of the ship .. just the paint basecoats done so far but Rich has 2 days of football this weekend - so I have a lovely weekend as a football widow to play at my painty creative stuff !!

On the right is a photo sheet with some shots I took at the museum in Jersey last summer - fabulous steampunk inspiration that I knew would be handy one day !
The box (which had Chocs in it which Rich munched happily !) has a lovely magnetic snap down flap - isn't it just waiting to be altered for something !!

Well off to play in my journal & sketch a few plans for 20,000 Leagues box !!

  5. Well, if I could actually satisfy every box that spoke to me, I'd be published in every mag and all over you tube!! Lovely idea for the box, really like the paint job. Enjoy your two days of lonely football-widow ness!
