Journal 52, Week 24: (Feminine/Masculine) Silly Animals

Chelle, our host at Journal 52 must have taken a silly pill for Week 24, because her latest prompt is a silly animal zoo.  We are to use, per Chelle's words, our "imagination to create something wild."

So, dear friends, this week I give you what I call

"Hey there FOXY LADY"

Why is it the prompts I find the most difficult, are also the ones I like the least?  Please don't laugh at my futile attempt at creating the shirt (yes, it's supposed to be a shirt), belt and pants.  The "emblem" on the pocket denotes the J52 week number.  Speaking of the week number, I'll get back to that in a moment.

Actually the Foxy Lady and her admirer are from a nature magazine.  Their clothes were cut from paint chip samples, and her legs are from a plasticized tape measure.

The spread was created on a used file folder that I painted three colors of acrylic and craft paint.  You probably can't tell from the scan, but I threw some glitter in the mix.  I wrote the words using my white Gelly pen.

As for the week number I alluded to before, if you note, this was an even numbered week at J52, and as such, should have been on the back of the file folder.  In other words, the holes should have been on the right, rather than the left.  In my haste to start this entry prior to a previous commitment, I threw the paint on an unadorned file folder and left.

When I returned and created the rest of the entry, I realized as I was scanning it, that I had messed up.   There is no way to attach both of these (last week's and this week's entry) together, so I'm not sure if I'll simply file both last week's entry and this one in my book, or if I'll fill both backs in the two upcoming weeks.

And even though this is not one of my best spreads, I'm also sharing it with Art Journal Journey, where the theme is Feminine/Masculine, as I noted in the post title.
