 Hi guys, how are you today? This is the Live Your Life with Zine video hop that I did with Mike Deacon and a group of really fabulously talented artists. I was challenged by Mike to create a piece of artwork. My word for the Zine was beauty. I chose to think of, you know, some of the most beautiful faces I've seen or known have been those that have been weathered with age. There is really truly beauty in age and in the wrinkles and the lines and the character that's in the face that comes with age. I really admire that for lots of different reasons. So I chose to do my piece with that thought in mind. We each had a word and I did one sample piece. I'll show you here in a minute and I really like the way it turned out but it wasn't quite what he was looking for because for one thing it had too much wording on it. For another thing once I got more information out of him this is too big and it's going to be hard to format. So he really needed it to be a rectangle and my word is beauty and I put this quote on here with age comes ageless beauty which I love and I love the way this turned out but this is too big for what he wants and he just wants the word beauty. So we're going to do it again. I also didn't film it so that was a problem. So we're going to do it again. So I have two 4x6 cards cut from watercolor paper. This is 140 pound inexpensive watercolor paper nothing special. I am using as inspiration for the face a picture of my grandmother, my mother's mom. This is her and you know I love the beauty in the you know wrinkles and the you know the age in the face. I love that. I don't know that I perfectly expressed what I wanted to about it in the first piece. We're going to see if we can do a little bit better job this time. I don't know we'll try. The first thing I'm going to do is I need to get out a number two pencil and I need to clean my water and I'll be right back. A lot of fun. So here is the finished zine and I love the way Mike did it and for those that you of you that don't know what a zine is a zine is generally like a digital magazine and then you download it and you print it onto a single sheet of paper which this is a single sheet of paper. This is a big sheet of paper and it is folded in half and half again and half again right and then once you have a creased watch me not be able to get this together once you have a creased right it looks like this. If you've done it right you have front cover and back cover and the artists involved in this are myself Linda Simpson, Louise Wiseman, Trish Rosima. I'm sorry Trish if I got that wrong please forgive me. Hany Trump, Kylie Koo and Mike Deacon. Mike Deacon did the front and back covers and I think everybody did a fabulous job. So live your life with beauty. This is the one we chose for the magazine of mine. Wonder, truth, love and honesty. I think everybody did a fabulous job.
