"Me/She" Art Journal pages...................























Here are two pictures which are actually the spread in my "She Art" journal that I worked on earlier this week. I titled this post "Me/She" art because I decided to use a couple of my own facial portraits for these gals. I copied the images and reduced accordingly for the pages. It was fun!

I love incorporating quotes with these gals, too. The hat and boots on my one gal are actually burlap; another fun embellishment!

I can see white outside my window! We were under a winter storm warning last evening into today and it was originally predicted that we could get 6-12 inches of snow! However, it appears we are only getting a couple of inches then it will turn to rain. Whew!

Hope everyone is safe and I wish you all a happy weekend!

Love much - Marilyn xxoo

I am so sorry you are still having winter. May you have sunshine and Spring NOW! You are really ROCKing these Me/She art gals. And how fun to add these great quotes. Yes the burlap really does add great texture. F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.

I am sorry I've missed so much of your wonderful art. These two gals are both simply lovely. I really like the one with the burlap boots and hat. It is fantastic.

Sorry to hear you are once again experiencing bad weather. Spring may not come until July for you this year. I hope you are having a better beginning of the week than you originally anticipated, even with lots of rain.
