My HQFCB #11 (old TFATU) DT projects of AGF choice and option on 2 Nov 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting shares and shows diverse fantasy creatures' projects created for HQFCB (the old TFATU) for November 2024. I've never considered myself to be fully immersed into fantasy but the 'bug' was caught in first grade when I received a beautiful illustrated "Cinderella" for winning the class winter reading contest. The teacher had caterpillars up around the top of 2 walls and she placed stickers on your caterpillar for each book that you read at home during the month. I think it was for January or February. I LOVED that book. 

when: #11 Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog main post is 2 November 2024 and stays open all month

what: PROJECT #1 = Anything Goes Fantasy choice: dragon, fairies, unicorn



notes for #1:

section A: the focal image was Ai-generated using Microsoft Designer however I did add lots of colors throughout the image using 3 different types of products: colored pencils or alcohol markers or glitter paint pen or black pen which will be designated as cp, am, gp and/or bm

from top to bottom and left to right: stars = bm; sky = cp; around pine trees in blue = am; unicorn's horn = gp; boards = am; cottage windows = gp; fairies' skin and hair = cp; fairies' wings = gp; dragon's belly = cp; red top mushrooms= cp; sand = am

section B: vendors

1. pink paper matting = Art Skills

2. floral paper = old The Paper Studio

3. bright lime green cardstock = Recollections

4. pink cardstock base = Neenah
