Not A Material Girl!

Morning All!

I had a rainbow of leftover paint brayered on a page in my Dina Wakley art journal, and Southern Gals Designs Tiffany inspired me to create a sketchy face with a Stabilo all surface pencil. I also wanted to join in with Halle's 'Words to Live By' theme at Art journal Journey, so I found a great quote I had saved in my 'Words' folder on Pinterest. Then I realised it might work for the 'Material Girl' theme at Try It On Tuesday, although not a material girl!


The quote reads 'Some women want diamonds... Other just want a hammock, a campfire, and some peace and quiet.' As I'm a crochet addict, I added 'and a hook and some yarn!'

Hoping the sun will be shining soon, as I'm off to hang some washing out.

Have a happy and creative day,

Alison xox

    Wonderful, Alison. Great sketch and a fantastic quote...I'd prefer a good book, but that's just me. Perfect for our 'Material Girl' theme this challenge. So glad you played with us at Try it on Tuesday.

    I love that face! I understand why some women want diamonds, but it's the hammock life for me :)

    This is wonderful, Alison. I know it made Halle smile because she likes to crochet (and knit), too. This is a a beautiful woman you drew and your quote is ideal. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey. I'll join you in a hammock, too!!
