Eyes (Featured at The Color Room #108)

Created for The Color Room #108

I recently read an article about the size of our eyes when we are a child remain the same throughout our lives and it’s only the size of the eye lids and surrounding eye area that grow until we’re adults. That stirred up some investigation on my part, and I set out to look at old photos of my eyes.   When I saw this weeks sketch with those empty rectangular shapes, I immediately thought about those pictures I used to test the theory and that eye article.  So here it is a page of Eyes.  I’m not too certain that that article is based off of any conclusive facts, but it was rather interesting.  And, even if it was based off of some fact, don’t you know there would be another article refuting it in the very near future? LOL. 

The white space in the sketch also called out to me to be creative and create my own background using a stencil, light molding paste, mists and a stamp.

Background:

Glimmer Mist: Vintage Pink watered down a little

Shimmerz: Treasured Hymm
Shimmerz: Antique Lace pot of paint
Ingvild Bolme’s chalk fluid ink
Prima’s small post card script stamp
The Crafters Workshop 6 x 6 chicken wire stencil
Golden’s Light Molding Paste
Small spatula

Embellishments:

Manor House Flowers (that I won over at C’est Magnifique at a blog challenge)

Summer Love petite pink flowers purchased from Flying Unicorn (which by the way has fabulous customer service, and I think Alda possesses some magical powers to produce that kind of service).
Prima stick pin
Imaginarium bird cage purchased from Flying Unicorn
Fusible Webbing (pink lacy bits added around the page) purchased from Lindy’s Stamp Gang

Tools:

Martha Stewart punch for leaves
Spellbinders banner stencil that was lent to me by a very generous and dear scrapper.
