Mixed Media Layout - Cool Off Featuring Ali Sweet

I've been on a mixed media kick again and this time I am sharing another page from my art journal. This time I decided to swing to the sexier side and feature a photograph by M. Ambrosio Photography of my friend Ali Sweet!

Mixed Media Art Journal Pages

I had this girl drawn for quite awhile in my art journal and the other day I finally decided to finish the pages.  She is still pretty rough around the edges, but over all I'm pretty happy with how she turned out.  Here are some pics of the finished project!!
