I’m very excited to say that I’ve become a finalist in the UHU “new gluer” challenge.
I fell in love with the UHU Photo Glue stick long ago, so when the call came out for a new “gluer” I was all over that!

My latest page in “Nature’s Majesty”.I colored the illustration already in the book with watercolor crayons. I then masked it off along with the words with painters tape. I always stick, un-stick and stick again the painters tape to my clothes before applying to the page. Especially on pages that are weak of fiber like these.
I sponged on black craft paint and let dry overnight. This morning I stamped the swirls with white pigment ink then gently brushed on yellow and copper pearlex powders.
The journally was done with a white gel pen.

Don’t you think!?!? It’s got my name written all over it! Of course we differ in pronunciation. I say “Holly” and she says it another way.

Of course, it’s my theory is that her mom thought HollyBerry was cute but changed the spelling to Halle to be different. Hollywood agents likely thought it might be “too cute” and had her use Hal-lee.
But folks look at the name… Halle.
Break it down.
Hall-E.
Don’t you see it.My name was picked out of a Norwegian baby name book. It actually was a boys name..sad but true.
