I was lucky enough to get my book early on Amazon, and couldn't wait to get started. By nature I am a tidy 'colour within the lines' person, and have really enjoyed letting go. So I've tackled a few pages, but here is my favourite so far, because I would never in a million years have thought of messing up the COVER of a book:
The book is already getting a little bulky, so I had to hold it closed with some small woodworking clamps to make it lie flat enough to photograph. Even my photographs are messy. How lovely to be given permission - or even perhaps an instruction - to mess up a book cover like this! Thank you Lisa.
As for the poor old fellow who needed a face lift and advice on fashion style, I think he is much improved in the messy version.
Having fun - my husband is envious!
