COLLAGE MONDAYS

A few weeks ago, Donna Downey started a new phase in her teaching. Collage Monday. This process has actually been a lot of fun and has been quite relaxing... to the point that I lose myself and forget what is going on around me. No pressures... no worries, just cut and glue. There are no mistakes. Try something and if you don't like it... cover it up or don't do it again!!! (I'm laughing!)



Circles punched and stems and leaf cut... out of magazine pages. Flowers (Mini Mums stencil from Crafter's Workshop) are stippled with paint onto Bazzil cardstock and then hand cut. I tried cutting them from magazine paper also, but they just didn't "pop" like I wanted.



A washed background of soft grey watercolor. Flowers are Basic Grey's Sweet Threads. I think I am loving the color Grey as a neutral!

ANGELS ARE AMONG US

We spent the day with the daughter... our one and only... Lunch and a movie. Back home, John retreated to his office to play on the computer a little and started a new entry into my journal. I always start a written journal, but it fizzles out fast. This week, I decided to incorporate some of my art into it. Whatever I feel like, whether it be doodling, painting or trying something new. Today, nothing came to mind to write about, so I just started painting. End result; A rather perplexed, odd looking Angel.
