SHCG: I looked at the LO and then read your description, I was pleased to see that I had interpreted the LO correctly. The only thing I can think of is possibly a sun in the upper right and maybe a few clouds. Intense and telling. Thank you for sharing your first 30 with us.
SHCG: It looks like a cliff to me, and a very nice cliff! I like how you make your self come out of the cliff! I think you can pull your pic and glue it with 3D dots-I think it will make it more like separating from the rock. I like the waves! I also love how you did the journaling! Great page!
SHCG: Wow amazing, you.ve put so much thought into these pages...I think it's neat how you're pic s facing towards the right and away from the land still land and into the crashing waves. The tree is also great. also love the falling rocks idea!
SHCG: I think this is very cool... I like how you brought in the tree from previous pages. This has a lot of great details, like the crab and the plant popping out of the cliff. The birds somehow don't fit to me though... they seem to "Farm" to me, kwim?? This is a great final page your your story. :)
Ooh, I like the falling rocks idea. Great plan. And since I never seem to clean my work area, I know I've still got remnants of everything, including the photo. The existing birds might be removed for something a little more interesting. Seabirds of some sort would be nice. Movement is great, but I've been avoiding birds on the right part of the page as it represents the new and birds have been in the previous pages a lot. Seabirds may take care of that entirely. Awesome feedback everyone!
SHCG: I think it does look like a rocky cliff, and I love that you're part of the cliff's layers. My only suggestion for the cliff would be to add some pieces from the cliff's edge crumbling into the ocean. That way you have movement from earth as well as sea. That brings to mind, maybe you could have chunks of your image crumbling out, too, and I'd like to see a bird in flight so that you have movement in the air as well. I also like Sharon's idea of adding ocean spray and stickling the white caps. Back to the bird, I kinda wish it had some gray, and not cream, so it's more like a seabird. I love that lil' sprig of green, always love the tree, and I like that the fish is jumping away from the page to indicate moving on to the next.
SHCF: This is a great LO....I agree that you should make the waves more like the cliff...maybe you can use some paint and glossy stuff...I also would use a fish sticker that jumps INTO the waves instead of away...great page though!
SHCG - Brian, what artistry you've shown through this whole book! You on the rocky cliff is very clear & I love seeing glimpses of elements you've used on earlier pages - the pp circle trees, the birds, the scattered staples. Nice to see a pic of you here! I LOVE the metaphor - you've been grounded in these 30 yrs & you're ready to meet any incoming new elements so you can meld/grow accordingly. I think this page RULES as is. But if you want to do more, I suggest adding things to make the wave more of a unknown, glistening force. Perhaps highlight wave crests w/ Stickles/Glossy Accents/gems, and put some of the sparkle in in the air above it as water sprays. Maybe add a cut out of a small bird in flight (unlike any of the birds we've seen so far) over the wave. Just stuff to make the wave look like a strange & new energy unlike anything we've seen yet in the book, you know? Though the wave already looks distinctive enough, love that you used a greeting card for this. Sensational LO as is!
Been peeking through your gallery and wow- what a unique and interesting style you have! I wish I could give you a concrete suggestion on changing this page, but I love it the way it is. Really inventive and I love how you used Hokusai's 'The Great Wave'. I'm sure he would be so honored to see it used so creatively.
This is terrific and creative. By "clear" do you mean more defined? Because otherwise, I think you achieved what you were trying to convey, message-wise. Awesome.
I had planned on posting this one last, but I'm looking for suggestions on making this one look more pulled together. It's supposed to be a rocky cliff. Is there any way to make it more clear? I'm supposed to be a part of the rocks, as if I'm coming out of the previous pages. So this sort of gives away the ending of a story, but there are still some interesting pages to come.
