Happy New Month!

As it is the very first day of the month, I am excited to share my DT inspiration project for August at More Than Words with you.

 

This month’s challenge is all about creating a self-portrait of YOU (obviously) and it can be created in any way you like, and can even be a complete fantasy version of you if you like – mine is!  LOL

This is the fantasy-nature-girl-who-lives-in-the-forest-and-talks-to-cats version of me.  It is not reality but I kinda wish it was. 🙂  You can create your self-portrait any way you chose and for any version of yourself.

This month I am also joining Jo from Let’s Art Journal who is hosting this month at Art Journal Journey.  Jo’s theme on AJJ this month is “Wonderfully Wild”.  As I said above, this is my wild girl with wildflowers in her hair, and as I said, she lives in the forest and talks to cats, now wouldn’t that be just lovely?

I hope you can join us this month.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.   As always, thanks for reading and Happy Journalling!Ingredients

What an amazing journal page. I love the idea of the wild woman with wildflowers in her hair. I also love the “wild” cats you added Cats are never far away where you are concerned (grin). Thanks for this great first entry using Jo’s theme at AJJ.

Hi Elle, this is a beautiful page and I am glad to see you have used cats in your composition, I am rather in awe of the painting of the young wild girl in the forest `(she looks so pretty) and wondered if you had drawn and painted it yourself. if so you are incredibly talented as the drawing and the colouring is fantastic.
A beautiful entry for AJJ.
Hugs, Neet xx

That’s a fantastic page and new challenge too Elle. I like how you look! I can think of a few fantasy pages of me-going wild (since I’m not wild at all in real life). Happy August to you, and thanks for joining Jo’s challenge too. I hope this month you get yourself much more healed too! hugs-Erika

What a beautiful page,! I love that’s it a self portrait too and that you have wild flowers in your hair. I was thinking of you when I first saw it because of the kitty cats surrounding her ??. Thanks so much for joining us at Art Journal Journey with your wonderfully wild self ??. Happy August! Hugs, Jo x
