Art, Heart & Healing - Week 3


This post is about what I've done for week 3 of Tam's free art course, 'Art, Heart and Healing'

This week, there were three parts.

Firstly we had to decorate the front of our board books to incorporate an altered photo of ourselves.  As I didn't have any printed photos of myself (yeah, a likely story - lol), I used one of my niece Chloe aged about three.  It's the photo I use for my profile picture on various sites, so it does represent me in that way.


Secondly, we had to create a 'celebration' spread inside the book


Lastly, we had to make an 'empathy monster' - you can see mine (as yet un-named) at the top of this post.  The idea of this little chappie is to be empathic towards you (although he cannot speak - as we know it!) he's a great listener - and has a beautiful kind eye!


He has a lovely heart too



Most importantly of all, he loves me!


I believe there's only one more week to go - another painting, I'd better get practising again

What a very interesting course of art! Your book is beautifully decorated and very creative. Now the "EM" is totally adorable and I think you did a wonderful project with this lesson. Can't wait to see the next!

What a fab empathy monster - though not sure monster is the right word really he's too cute!

Thanks for the tip about stamping on dominoes with Stazon - When I've used stazon onto Alcohol inks before I've had some inconsistent results - me I think not the materials - so I played it safe!

Hi Sherry, thanks for your lovely words on my blog and the heads up about the GA link. I've fixed it now so should hoefully work.

Yay to seeing someone else doing this class. I've only done week 1 so far but loving it completely :) Your empathy monster is gorgeous!
