Illustration Friday - Legendary

Legendary Beauty: a collage

For those of you who aren't aware, the figure on the shell is Aphrodite / Venus the Greek / Roman goddess of love and beauty.  The Greek figure on the right is Helen of Troy, a woman so beautiful that men went to war over her (The Trojan War) and the goddesses were jealous of her.  Other than that there's Marilyn Monroe the legendary voluptuous blonde and Audrey Hepburn the legendary elfin brunette.  Then there's the modern beauties, Angelina Joile (my favourite), Charlize Theron and I can't think of who the other is.  The 3 in the background are randoms from catalogues I had lying around.  The poem was written by the legendary Lord Byron.

Latest scrapbooking projects

Perth Zoo

This layout is the result of a challenge set by The Scrapbook Establishment, the August sketch challenge (I was all inspired after winning last month with What Little Boys Are Made Of - see below).
Connor

This is the result of the monthly challenge set by the Cricut club I go to at Scrapbooks From the Heart.  We were given the skull and crossbones (in neutral tone) and we were required to add another Cricut cut which is Connor's name.  I was initially going to do a plaque to go on Connor's door, but found this frame at Bunnings and it went from there.

FI: Enough

Very simple, could probably do with some more work, but there you go.

1920's inspired card designs

These are some cards I made last year, they are hand drawn and cut.

FI: Foggy

This is my first drawing in 12 years.  Thought I'd give this Friday Illustration thing a go.  This is pen and watercolour pencil.

Name tag

This was made using the Cricut again, it's just a name tag to wear while at the Cricut club, but I love it.

woof

I made this card using the Cricut machine (the Paper Pups cartridge) because my in laws had just travelled to Melbourne to buy a dog.  I figured that if you are that devoted to the dog, then it was worth a card.
