Well, I tried the rational approach, trash one. I tried it again, trash two. The third time, I just said this is it. I used my watercolor pencils, and sketched a store front, as best as I can. I tried to add some textural touches, like bricks and a plant. I wrote in fancy writing. And I used water to turn the pencils into paint. This is the result!
What do you think??? I think it is good. Perhaps just to me, but that is fine! I am proud to be doing things I don't normally do. That is why I am so committed to CT's blog! I like working outside my comfort zone! I never thought I would until Creative Tuesday. You should definitely check it out. You will totally be inspired!!
My thoughts exactly for being part of CT. I like your store front. Looks like a snazzy place.

Your shop looks very Parisienne and chic. Wonderful job. I think that this challenge has really been a tough one, as it stretched me as well.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks like a chic place to shop!
ReplyDeleteThe contrast between the pinks, yellows and black is great, and the fancy writing is perfect! X
This is great. I really lke the bricks and the urns out front! Nice job! enjoy the day!

Daniella--Well done! I was especially admiring the brick work. This makes me want to go in and get a mani/pedi :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say "Third time's a charm". The lettering is really lovely and I think the textures really work :)It's great!
ReplyDeleteI love this! This wasn't such as easy challenge this week. I think we all had to have a few tries at it. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Daniella, it's GORGEOUS!!! I just love the style--WOW!! And the writing is "tres chic!"

Well done store front! I need to go to salaon, however after the last bad haircut from a trusted stylist(gone crazy) I am letting my hair grow out, ugh, I always have long and hair and went crazy and got that elevated bob, now I am paying the price. Have a great day and I will have to check out that challenge blog. xx Kim

ReplyDeleteThis is really good! Now I want to join! It pays to get outside our comfort zone - sometimes we discover something else wonderful about ourselves. =0)
Hugs!
Hello Daniella,
ReplyDeleteI love it! How about doing a bakery with tons of cupcakes and cakes now in the windows? And pink, pink, pink!

Great salon, love it
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you display your cloche. I change my cloches all the time too.
ReplyDeleteDee
nice result - I like the colors
ReplyDeleteIts there now, you may have just gotten there before I had the whole post up. It took me a while to get all my info in. I didn't post everything I made for her because I want it to be a surprise for her when she opens the box. I just hope she likes it. Its so hard to tell what someone else will like. I just asked her what her favorite color was and I took it from there. I am so excited, I want to get some stuff up on Etsy now. I will use her pictures after I have shipped just so I have something to post. I am a big Tim Holtz fan so I used some of his stuff for her, but not everyone is into the grunge, so I made it plan because her blog is plan. I am so excited:-)
ReplyDeleteLove, Light, & Happiness ~ Hugs, CindyLew
I think it's good, too. I love the fancy Salon sign, the little topiary plants and the wood grain effect on the doors.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very talented artist, Daniella! I'm your newest follower and I look forward to more of your pretty posts in the future!
ReplyDeleteSee ya Friday at the Wedding Blog Party!
Big TX Hugs,
