Documented Life Project week 8- Add a flap to your flap

By Viki Tiamat


February 15, 2014 (Week Eight)
  Challenge- Add a flap to your flap

My original tip in was Gelli print and handdrawn  Doodled flowers on top

I really liked the original print and had mental difficulties covering it up with opaque media,so I decided to go with collaged Mylar sheet as my flap on flap 

 

The decision of going with Alice in Wonderland theme was a mix of practical and intuitive 

I had this shadow box I previously made as  part of Xyron projects,which I never really used for anything-it was pretty and all,but something in it was just not enough for me to display it,yet I had hard time to discard it (as usual) ...so it laid in the dark  collecting dust for a while ,till this flap challenge here 

For the practical, what I did was basically taking the whole thing apart and reassemble the same concept on the mylar,but this time I decided to colour these beautiful illustrations

After I glued the characters on the mylar,I coloured the inlines of some of the yet remaining visible flowers underneath ,but the colour went ONLY on the transparent sheet.
So when you look at the overall picture ,the flowers have super vivid tones,yet when the mylar sheet is raised,a totally different picture is revealed -like  real Wonderland in my own journal

The Documented Life Project Week Six- Pinterest Inspiration

2/1 Week Six

Challenge: Open your Pinterest board and be inspired
I call it "Bird Story"
I did this one on a whim - while making screenprint of two birds for one of my hand bound book covers ,I decided to print the same birdies on a Gelli Print I had laying around (the screen was already flooded with too much paint and it was a waste to waste it ) .
When I printed it ,I didn't have any artist in mind ,but looking backwards I guess ,the influence came from the talented Genin whose work I adore !!
I haven't looked on her work to be inspired by per se ,but following her here on FB, must have triggered my artistic sciences

The Documented Life Project - Week 3 -Junk Mail Challenge

January 12 Challenge (Week Three) -  Add an envelope from your mailbox. Get creative and add the whole envelope or parts of the envelope.  Journal on it, write notes on it or use it as a pocket!

Made this entry as a spread -half of it on the actual planner the other half as an envelope tip in.
The doodled characters were drawn in a car ,on a road trip to Tel Aviv :)

The front of the envelope was decoupaged with decorative cardstock and pieces of my Gelli prints, stamped with a cute birdie and a bicycle stamps by Imaginisce  and has an inspirational quote I like

ATTRACT what you EXPECT

REFLECT  what you DESIRE 

I left the original posting stamps on

Week 2 Challenge for Documented Life Project- SELFY

The Documented Life Project - Jan 5th (Week Two) Challenge

Say Cheese!!! This week's challenge is to incorporate a selfie into your planner.  This can be done as simply as snapping a photo with your phone, printing it out and adding to your planner.  Don't want to add your sweet face to your planner? No worries, why not sketch or paint a likeness?  Can't sketch or paint? No worries, consider using words to describe yourself and add those to your planner. Not into the selfie scene? This challenge is optional!

My second challenge is ready

My SELFY -I call it חייה בסרט *

Thought ,I would kill for legs that long,actually it's just a fashion illustration which represent me the best these days- I'm a Fashion and Accessory designer
I do wear my hair like this-LOVE Victorian Rolls

Actually,I don't like stars-that's just what my washi says about me
But I do live my life in a different dimension (in Hebrew we call it "חייה בסרט" * "Haya be-Seret" which literally means " lives in a movie" but in English it will better translates as "Lives in a Wonderland " -Yep,that's ME -that's why my washi is trashing me lol

I AM wicked -that's what my Mom says about me and I know for sure my mother in law DEF telling people I'm a witch

The Anchor is to represent my Daddy-one of the loves of my life -seriously,I LOVE my Dad to pieces and wanted him to be in my selfy!!

The lipgloss represents the very first thing I've learned after graduation high school -I went to study to be a Make Up Artist, but haven't practiced it but on myself and the models I shoot for my collections

The tiny words near my photos telling about me being a free spirit girl-I'm a sagittarius ,so I'm always up for a good adventure ,thus the words "bags & fun "

And lastly, my photo goofing around with my loved ones -hubby and my girls (it's an old photo taken about 2.5 years ago But I still look the same and my printer played a trick on me and stopped working right after I bought new cartridges for him (what an unappreciative printer he is....)
Anyway,couldn't print an up-to-date photo of me ,BUT I actually really happy with this one as it's so much ME without the posing and fakeness ,you know

I just LOVE this project-it's like a free therapy lol

First week challenge for the Documented Life Project

The Documented Life Project - Jan 1 (Week One) Challenge

guidelines :

photograph, sketch, paint or incorporate your front door-  "As the door opens on our new year, we all share the bond of having an entry into our home,  our lives, ourselves.
Through the artistic medium of your choice, show us a bit of where you live in the symbol of your door, entryway or porch. Think a bit about how you can use your door to express your personality, your life, what you value."

Here is my door
Mixed Media-
Gelli printed wood grain background in water colour scheme -cause it's the year of the Wooden Horse and water nurtures wood .
Doodled front door
Hand written business blessing (Hebrew) -cause my planner will be all about attracting/bringing in a good luck and fortune for my business )
Some additional Feng Shui symbols as the Lucky Bamboo and Double Happiness Sign.

And of course a little Mezuzah doodle with the 3 Hebrew letters " שדי" that represent the words "Keep Israel Doors Safe" ,to keep my family safe and blessed as well

in my planner
