Palma and Vicki's pair journal-first round

These are some of the pages that I have worked on in Vicki's journal.
It's been a while since I received it and every time I opened the journal I just couldn't get into the swing of things! I guess that I had a lot of other stuff going on at the time but I decided to whip this gorgeous journal out and dedicate all my time to it.
I worked on some of the ready found backgrounds and on some blank spreads. I left most of them unfinished for Vicki to add to if she wants.

I added the Bingo card to a page (left) and did the raven over an existing background

I painted a face over this leafy background which I think was a gel plate print.

Vicki and Palma

This is what I have prepared so far for my pair journal with Vicki.
The theme is 'Spice it up', using spicy or rich colours ,imagery and spice related things but I'm not strict about that! My own pages turned out to be more vibrant than spiceeee. 

The first photos are of my front and back covers, followed by only one completed spread and the rest are unfinished.

Introducing myself - Palma

Hiya!

I am excited to be part this. I would just like to thank Sarah, for organizing this for me and thank Vicki, for agreeing to be the other half of the pear pair  ;)

My name is Palma and I live in Italy. I'm a stay at home mum and I eat ,drink and sleep all things arty.  I do all kinds from altering photographs to assemblage. I go through phases of trying out new and different things. My recent phase is with fiber art . I am just learning to do this. I can't master my sewing machine so I sew everything by hand.
I am also a colour junkie! 
My true passion is painting and in particular painting faces.

Here are a few images of the many things that I've created:

A journal page for a CJ swap.

A fabric prayer flag

Pastel portrait of Frida Kahlo

Steampunk box


Well, I can't think of anything else to add except that I am excited to begin and Vicki, sounds like a really lovely person :)
