Good Morning, Angels—Journaling with Julie 9

If you ever watched Charlie's Angels in the 1970s or the movie reboots, you got to hear Charlie say "Good morning, Angels." I'm old school, so I hear this in John Forsythe's voice. Though I imagine if I watched the original series now, I'd probably not enjoy it. But in the 70s, we had to watch network tv so even Love Boat and Fantasy Island were good tv. Of course, I was a child then, so maybe it wasn't good tv even then. Who knows?

But I digress. Today I'm sharing the angel projects that my sister, Julie, and I created with Lesson 9 in the Create Your Life Book that we each have. Julie's working in her home in New Jersey and I'm working in mine in Ohio. Then we share the results. For this lesson, you create yourself as an angel. Luckily, this was super easy for me because of my angelic personality but much harder for my sister. HA! (You gotta get in those zingers where you can when you have an older sister.)

First comes the collage part and the coloring. I used Arteza metallic gouache to color, along with some Tombow markers.

Then I added details with black brush marker.

Finally, I used a gold gel pen, white paint and white uniball pen to add details. I also used a damp paper towel to remove some of the gelato so you can see the collaged paper underneath (like my dress).

Julie used painted paper that was purple and white for her collaged papers. And though you can’t see it, she put images of me and our older sister, Teresa, looking over her shoulder. How sweet is that?  Then she used glitter tissue paper for her clothes and scrapbook paper that was feathery-looking for the wings. She finger painted some white acrylic paint on the wings and clothes and added some gold acrylic paint.

Finally, she used a gold Sharpie to outline parts of it and she says she's much happier with this version than the original version. Since we don't get to see the first one, we'll have to take Julie's word for it :) 

I like how they both turned out and that we both went with purples. This was a fun project and it's even more fun to do with my seester. And, hey, who doesn't want to see themselves as an angel?

Happy Weekend!
