Art Geeks Challenge #24 Duality

The theme for this challenge was duality - different aspects of ourselves. I chose to see this theme as "Integration through Mindfulness and Awareness". I wish I could say that I'd drawn the girls myself, but I've used the beautiful girls I found recently on the Twinings Limited edition teas. they definitely needed using in a project. I wish my different selves were all so beautiful!

Expand your boundaries

This was another Art Geeks Challenge

Gill, this prompt is designed to push you outside of the boundaries of what you 'see' and get you to try recreating a photo or a scene. Partly realistic and partly imagination.

Your prompt is to get a photo and cut off part of your subject. Then recreate that along with finishing out the background of the original photo. Creating a new boundary from the one in the photo.

So here are the original photo and the finished page in my journal
