The Imposter

In 6th grade I got a "D" in art because I refused to even TRY any of the art assignments. (I also got a "D" in effort for some reason.) In 7th grade the same behavior earned me an "F." The only art lesson I remember--and one I didn't engage in--was in 6th grade. The teacher said that if you draw a face of a person, you need to put the eyes half way down. Armed only with that great wisdom, an eraser and a couple of pencils, all these years later, I suddenly decided I wanted to draw a picture of my son. I didn't expect great results, since I have been a poor art student all my life. You see before you the finished product, of which I am quite proud. I expected my creation to look like some creature from the planet Arzon with no recognizable human features. I am delighted that, although the drawing does not look like my son, it does look like a human being. And thus I have titled my scrap page "The Imposter." I wanted to call it "An Imposter, but No Alien," but I wasn't able to scrounge up any alien embellies (I didn't try very hard...that same old effort issue). Aliens really wouldn't look good with this layout anyway, would they? The background green paper is Basic Grey. I forget what the white paper is. Most of the flowers are from Recollection, though the large bottom one is Prima. I stained everything I could, including my fingers, and I got to use brads for the first time. The jewelry/art pieces (a mask and a cameo of a butterfly) are from Bead Landing.
