Bellarific Friday -- Self Portrait

Don't you see the resemblance?

I used Halobella for this week's Bellarific Friday sketch (created by Mehanibella).  First, I stamped her out and colored her in with Copic markers, then I masked her with Eclipse Masking Tape and airbrushed her sky.  Her dress was paper pieced, and her clouds were made extra-fluffy thanks to Polar White Flower Soft. Shading was accomplished via Prismacolor pencils & odorless mineral spirits.  The wings were glittered via Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pen & aqua painter, and the sentiment was hand-written.

Make sure you stop by Emily's blog today to see what the rest of the Babes and the Sistahood made of the sketch.  Just leaving a measly comment while you're there?  You could win some Bella Bucks!  What a deal!  And did you read her blog this week?  They've lowered the free shipping point for all North American customers -- woohoo!  I don't know about you, but I love me some free shipping!

Not a whole lot of time for a lot of jibber-jabber today, but I do want to say: Project Runway has successfully survived the move to Lifetime.  Phew!  It has the same look and feel that we know and love. And Mood Fabrics has an L.A. branch!  Who knew?  COLOR ME RELIEVED!!! (Although I disagreed with the judges' verdict in the All-Star challenge.  Call me fashion-backward, but I thought Daniel V's collection was fugly.) Heidi, you can relax now.  Though I will always prefer Bravo to the L-word, so long as Project Runway keeps its soul and Tim Gunn?  I will follow it anywhere...

Love the self-portrait card!

I totally agree with you on Project Runway AllStars - I hoped Kyoto or Sweet P would win. And I was surprised on the premiere that they cut someone with a strong vision (albeit strange - I would have liked a second look) instead of someone with an excuse.

Well darn - I read your post too early. I DVR'd PR last night and haven't watched it yet!

Your card is wonderful, but personally I think it resembles me a little more than you! LOL! After all, a grasshopper should strive to be like her QDM! Right?

[Jody Morrow]
