Life Book 2016 - Week 17

The instructor for Week 17's lesson is Roxanne Coble, and her lesson theme is 'Your Story, Your Altar'. My interpretation of the lesson was based on my recent trip to Michigan and what it meant for me.

My first effort for this lesson went awry in that the background painting didn't work. My second effort didn't work either because the background painting got lost because of too much collage work. This was my third effort. In working on it, I liked the use of the white gel pen for outlining as well as for some other finishing touches (in assorted pen colors).

I'm still getting air bubbles when collaging and haven't yet been able to remedy that. It happens using Liquitex Matte Medium and Golden Gel Medium. I'll keep practicing and hopefully get better at it. It seems to happen most often with the use of pages from magazines.

They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
