Crusade 49

So it would seem that everything is late these days.  Even though PSL has been over for a week, all the other projects and things in need of my attention have filled in the time like water...I have been working on my Forensic Self Portrait for the Street Team Challenge here and there all month--still don't consider the pages finished--and am posting them to you two days after the official end of the challenge. oops. Well, what can you do. Better late than never?


Michelle provided us with a wonderful sheet of "evidence" labels and other such fun images this month, and i promptly printed them in several sizes. Also inspired by Michelle's love of black, white, red and brown color scheme that dominates her artwork--i decided to adopt it for this particular art journal. It seems it is fate to do so as the cover of the book is red and I already had several black, white and red pages completed in the book. It was very satisfying to my muse to rummage through my drawers and folders of ephemera in search of anything that fit the color scheme, and then limit myself to that pile of items.


A tag inside an envelope that tucks behind the panel...and look! there I am!

And an envelope pocket for the all important forensic report....

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think so far! I love to hear from you!


Have a lovely Saturday!

Maria - bravo for getting the pages done. Love how you placed the evidence tag over the phrenology head eye. Love that you included a photo of yourself. Love that color palette. And love that M stamp *wink*. I bet you'll continue adding to these pages...it's fun once you get going isn't it? Thanks for sharing with the team!

Do you know that I love that tag? What a great thing to hide and a pretty place to hide it!

Thank you for doing this challenge and sharing it!

This is looking great; your 'borrowed' colour scheme works well. Loved seeing the 'Moon Goddess' reference, and then noticed you have a lunar calendar on your blog - I have one on my google page. The full moon makes me wakeful.
