recovering and recap

Oh right….back to real life.  I'm late with posting…but at least I did it!  These pages chronicle the wrap-up of the HIM tour.  I documented the set lists from the four concerts we saw, and journaled about the experiences.  Still in recovery after a three-night-stand staying in the city.  Whew!  It was a gas.

I found these terrific new tools at AC Moore.  They are perfect for making toner transfers with Goof-Off.  Also good for blending with watercolor pencils, brushing on glue, painting and smoodging.

The rose count is insane!  With the recent rain the bushes are heavy and leaning.  Need to find a way to support them.  *adds on the to-do list*  Here is one until I can take more photos.

Fallon was able to finally get photos with three of the guys Friday night.  Perfect little addition to a fantastic tour.  We were definitely spoiled.  They are all back in Finland now.  When-oh-when will they be back?

This week Seth @ The AlteredPage is revisiting True Colors with commentary each day from the participants.  I thought all the artists would be included in a one-day-post so I kept my remarks brief.  I could talk endlessly about the fabulous experience of making pages, then seeing it go to print.   Fun to be reading his blog as we reminisce out loud.  Check it out HERE

    Love your art and blog. True Colours remains my favourite all time ‘art’ book. Whenever I need a boost – art wise or other – I go back to it. It is truly beautiful. I keep thinking I ought to buy a second copy ‘just in case’ – i would hate to be without this book!

    Michelle-
    As usual – LOVE your journal pages. I think to get myself out of my funk I am going to have to think of a project similar to your Ruby Tuesday journal. Something similar without copying 🙂
    Looks like the concert was a complete success…I can’t even imagine 3 days in row!!!
    I still wish they would come out with a publication that shows the rest of the pages that weren’t included in True Colors. I haven’t had a chance to look at it for awhile….perhaps I will pull it out and see if it can inspire me!
    Until later,
    Judy

    Okay.
    I’m in your Circle and I STILL can’t figure out if you’ve got a clone or what.
    HOW you can do all that you do is beyond me. A 3-Day in the City, 3 kids to raise and you STILL pull off your Tuesday Tutorial pages? How? how? how?…….

    I remember so clearly my first class at Valley Ridge (YOUR class) and the entire group oohing and ahhing about True Colors and there I sat. “What is True Colors?” Every head turned in the room and gasped. It was then that our friendship began… xoxoxoxox.

    Hello Michelle,
    You saw four concerts !?! You are really die-hards ! LOL
    It’s great that you and Fallon go to the same concert as mother and daughter.Nice pages you made of the experience : I like the colorcombination and the transparent that is over the ” saint”.
    It all began for me with “true colors” so I’m heading off to read Seths blogposts ! Thanks for letting us now.
    Me too, I would want to see the unpublished pages in a new publication.
    greetings from belgium

    Hi Michelle,
    Wow! I love your “version” of St. Scream! Really nice job there.
    I’m envious of Fallon’s pictures with the boys. I look my 15 year old with me to the Denver concert and we had the night of our lives but sadly no fan pic opportunities arose. Ah well. Maybe next time.
    Your website is amazing but it’s your HIM posts that are near and dear. Keep up the good work.
    Spread the love of HIM! <3
