With this one the focus was using layers to create depth. She used paints stamps, stenciling, pen work and collage. The idea of having a message to say through art was also introduced.
With this one, the goal was to express an emotion through the page. She’s been overwhelmed with the amount of mosquito bites she has (22 if you want to count) and so made this page to describe her irritation. I refrained from pointing out that she made a supercute page for something she hates so vehemently.
She really liked how simple and quick the above page was and requested more fast techniques like the starburst background. She’s working on another starburst background collage (princess themed with one of her best friends), but completed this next one first by looking at a picture in one of her old textbooks for reference, drawing it and then using it as a base for her collage.

She’s so talented! Tell her please that Alicia in Minnesota loves her art too! I love the messages too, and the mosquitoes are too cute. We have bats above our house who eat all of ours. It’s quite nice, as some folks say that Minnesota’s state bird should be the mosquito since we have so many and they are so big. 🙂
