Going to California

Wednesday, May 19, 2010


".......Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems......."  ♪ ♫
As promised, no new journal today even though I did make a 5x6 one while having my coffee this morning. This was for a swap where you had to make an ATC you picked a subject that normally HAS hair and then substitute the hair for anything BUT hair. Ever since I got in this swap I've been singing "Going to California" over and over in my head every time I thought about the swap so I went with it!

You'll laugh, but the background was done with watered down acrylics + dish soap then I used a straw to blow bubbles in the mixture then laid the ATC on top of the bubbles for them to pop on it. I have another background that turned out much better, looks more like bubbles.
