I thought I’d recycle my wasted medicine packets and put them to use on this prompt.

i did a small doodle whilst looking down at the green fields of England from a plane that i was travelling on. Once home i worked on it and then used photoshop to create a repeating pattern.

Colored pencils, pen, foil and photos.

I used acrylic for the face but I ended up not liking it so I added color pencil on top

I'm not very great with titles! But it's pretty obvious which element she uses.

When you find a sticker stashed away in your wallet… the things I acquire on my travels!

Zines, all the zines!

My first attempt at a concertina birthday card. While simple to make, it can be a bit fiddly and getting the proportions and placement of objects right for each layer is important so that everything can be seen once the layers are overlapped. It reminds me of printing processes, where each layer is gradually added. It was quite an enjoyable process.
