    For week 3 we are being inspired by Lee McKenna! I love her Neutral art work!
    To start off with you might want to read this great interview by
    TOOBES

    It is a fantastic question/answer type of interview.
    Her main Website is
    HERE
    And last her Instagram account

    Here is what I created, using her art as inspiration.

    You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without a photo. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you.

    Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to May 1st, 2021 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code".

    We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).

    Did I ever have fun with this. I love Lee's art and am following her on Instagram now. Mine is probably "busier" than hers, but I kept the tones muted and this is where my muse took me. Thanks for another wonderful Artists' Inspiration!

    I'm definitely not a neutral gal in any area of life, ha! But I did find this one collage that I really liked with all the layers and shadows- and took my inspiration from it...

    A new Artist for me too, I find the near monochrome LO's slightly odd in this style, but I am a brown and beige girl, so it was a great Muse !
