AJJM...theme...Masculine-Feminine"

This months theme at AJJM is 

Masculine-Feminine

which leads itself to a wide range

how the theme is interpreted can be anything!!

so....

this is what i came up with..

i feel like theres so much imagery coming at us

that sets us up for unrealistic expectations.

i guess as my daughter gets older and makes comments

i notice them more, mind you she is only 9 but very

aware of the way media represents woman.

i am trying to instill a healthy view and eat healthy rather 

than worry about size and shape.

so i looked at older images and its amazing how this

has been the norm for the female figure...

so heres my take on the theme...

looked for some images to transfer..

gel transfer...

ok this next step was a huge mistake!!

don't know what i was thinking so it took a while to fix!!

a few coats of gesso later and i was able to add color...

used my neocolor crayons to add color to the figures

and splatters to the page...

some old pages to stamp the text onto...

and found wash take that looks like a ruler...

perferct!!!

and done...

thanks ladies at AJJM
