I fell in love with this 'The East Wind' image as soon as I saw it. What's not to love? Hair piled high, reading a book, animals, birds, hearts, and a chopstick. Pure bliss!
The original image I purchased looked like this.
I got busy creating.
I colored Lucy Loo first, using Copic markers. Oh, that hair! It was so. much. fun! Then, I found a digi from DigiStamps4Joy in my collection that I knew would work perfectly -- the stack of books.
I printed the books and the computer generated sentiment on watercolor paper. I used my NEW Prismacolor pencils on the books and a watercolor wash behind where Lucy Loo is placed. I matted it all on several matching shades of card stock.
The East Wind Challenge blog has a Winter Blues challenge happening right now, and I made this into a bookmark with that challenge in mind. What better way to beat the winter blues than to get lost in a book?!? I think that's what this girl is doing -- she's in another world, she's so absorbed in her good book. She doesn't even know it's way below zero!
Read on, Lucy Loo, read on!
