Faces

The challenge at Fun with ATCs is Faces

Well today my head is full of Leonardo Da Vinci cause I went to Hull Art Gallery to see 10 of his drawings which the Queen has lent to the nation as part of her  Golden Jubilee Celebrations. It was amazing how many people were there and so far there have been 10,000 people in just a short time, viewing these little drawings.

This image isn't one of the drawings but it one I have always admired. I made a Leonardo backing paper then decoupaged the image twice onto the ATC. The quote I found on Google and is by the great man himself.

Love Chrissie xx

I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
