Crafty Hodges Quirky Characters Tutorials

One of the people I follow on You Tube is Crafty Hodges. Love her work and the sound of her voice. In the fall of 2017 she did a series of tutorials showing how she did her collages. Thru out the years I have admired Teesha Moore's and Dyan Revely's collage work. I learned a lot on how to do quirky collages watching Crafty Hodges tutorials. In purchasing the exact digital collages sheets and following along her videos I feel more confident in making my own Quirkies. Here are the 4 I did following her videos.

They look very similar to hers except for the backgrounds. Instead of using the digital backgrounds I am making my own with Dylusion sprays or paint. I am also putting mine in a smaller sized Dylusion Journal.

Thanks for looking!

Dylusions layout.

Dyan Reaveley has some great u-tube videos. These pages are inspired by the one she did demonstrating her Journal block.

I did these on the last few blank pages of a Dylusions Journal that is my 2016 Planner/Art Journal. On each page I used Lemon Zest paired with a different colored spray in the blue/green colors. Except the very back page is pink and orange. In adding the pages I used masking tape. After spraying a layout, I painted the tape with some clear gesso with a little of the spray that I used to tint it.

With the backgrounds done and the borders doodled on the next step is to add the collage.

Thanks for looking.
