Chronicles, Lifebook, and 29 Faces

I am usually weird about letting things do double duty.  I don't know why!  I probably would have finished the 30 in the 30 with paintings to spare if I would have used everything I painted, but I didn't.  Cause I'm dumb.  I really don't want to bomb another challenge, so I'm going to double duty as much as I need to this time and not even feel bad about it.  Okay maybe a little bad. 

If you've been following along with wonderstrange,  you know I've been doing what I call "anti-journaling."  If you aren't following along, you can check out this week's total spread by going clicky-clicky

But, face-wise, here's my main spread:

Three faces! BOOM.
The popups were part of Jane Davenport's Lifebook lesson this week - I never do the Lifebook lesson.  I watch the videos, absorb the techniques, and move on.  But... POPUPS.  Plus one of the prompts for Chronicles this week was to actually do a lesson.  It's like I wrote that JUST FOR ME (I totally did).  The popups were supposed to represent three positive qualities that you appreciate in other people (and therefore in yourself), so I did that.  Sort of.  As much as I ever do anything that means anything.. hahaha

the Buddha represents being 'zen', in my definition, not little piddly crap bother you
the mime represents creativity, or thinking out of the box.
even though this isn't a face, the castle in the clouds represents dreaming big
and here's a closeup of the weird dude on the other page:


He doesn't have anything to do with Lifebook - I was just experimenting with colored pencils on pastel ground.

I am working on more Greek mythological women on wood bits, but yay I'm up to 6!  I'm only five days behind :D  That's like a Christmas miracle.
