TESTIMONY
Journal on several different journalling spots.
Inspiration words, think, process, idea.
The journalling is on the back and it reads:-
I found the image on the mood board inspiring and it lead me to use a silhouette of myself as a young woman. It was cut by S. John Ross, a renowned silhouette artist who grew up in America and migrated to Australia after the second world war. At that time he practiced his craft at Luna Park in Sydney. For a small amount of money and about five minutes of my time he created this very good likeness.
First he folded a thin piece of black card in half and with small scissors cut a double silhouette in just a few minutes. So, the silhouettes combined with the mood board got me thinking about the functions of different areas of the brain.
I had the idea that I would be primarily Right brained. However when I did some research I found that the Left/Right brain hypothesis no longer has much credibility in the scientific world. Despite that, I am much more at home with most of the qualities listed as being Right brained. By contrast, during my working life, I relied on Left brain skills almost exclusively. I was surprised to find reading and writing listed on the left, because these are two of my favourite things.
What does that all mean, you may well ask? Perhaps that I was in the wrong career all my life? Maybe that I’m a good all rounder? Possibly, I'm just a crazy, mixed up kid! I’m not really sure, but it was a fun way to crack the case.

MATERIALS
This is the first digital page I’ve created. I photographed my silhouettes and then inverted them. I searched on line for free clip art to drag and drop on to the silhouettes. The border is a brush found in Adobe PS CS3
Well done with your first digital design! so very special and unique. I'm not sure either about the 'traditional' left/right brain concept, as I feel I have them both LOL.
