I finished the first assignment of the first week of the Design Your Life course see yesterday's post and this one. The subject for this week is balance and symmetry. This was from a sketch that Cathy Zielske, the instructor, gave us to work from. I'm thinking that I'll be switching over to doing it digitally unless I find a couple of my tools that will make it easier to line things up. This one took a lot of fidgeting around with trying to get everything in just the right place. I think everyone will recognize my subject but some might be confused by my title. I decided to go for it's shorter name (as in Palace of Westminster) just to fit in there. :) Look at the wonderful weather we had - it was so good I actually got a sunburn. This was June of 2008 just before our Baltic Cruise when we had 4 days in London. It was my one and only time to Great Britain and I most definitely want to go back.
Supplies were the sketch from Cathy Zielske, kraft paper from Recollections, the journaling paper is a scrap I had so have no idea what it's from, blue paper is from Keeping Memories Alive (glad they put their name on the back or I'd be lost as to where it came from too), the font for the title is Freestyle Script while the journaling font is Bradley Hand.
I discovered something while doing this - I need to figure out how to print more than one picture on a piece of photo paper - talk about waste!
By the way that little silvery rectangle in the bottom left of the picture is the viewfinder from the camera my Dad carried throughout World War II. One of the things of his that I treasure.
