Morning everyone, I hope it’s a nice day in whatever part of the world you live and that you are feeling peaceful and rested. As you read this I will be at work, as many of you no doubt will be too, but Im determine to find a quiet 5 mins to focus my attention on my needs. I will tune inwards just to recognise and acknowledge what my body and mind need in that moment.
I invite you to make some time today to be still. Listen to your body as she whispers what she needs to heal her pain. Look to the sky and note your experience, is it cold, windy, sunny, rain? What does it feel like on your skin? A good starting point for any creation!
I try to do this before I start making art. It helps me find inspiration and let go of anxieties and grounds me in the here and now. This is so useful for me, it allows me to let go of the day.
This small canvas I’m going to share was made with my downstairs loo in mind – it is the 3rd piece I have made and finishes the back wall off nicely.
I’m entering this into these challenges
the Country View Crafts challenge Drips and Drops
Inspiration Emporium love is in the air
Craft stamper stencilling
Artist Trading Post love is in the air
I used a stencil with 3 hearts and applied crackle paste. Below you can see the hearts on the canvas which has been sprayed with Media Mist from DecoArt which I allowed to drip and once dry I dripped white Media Mist randomly over the canvas. You can also see some of the droplets of liquid glass which I was inspired to use by Donna my teamie at Speed Craft Challenge see her fantastic creations here
While this was drying I prepared another heart by covering it in crackle paste and when dry I rubbed in Patina Antiquing Cream. I also added some stencilling of tiny hearts.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with the heart and so went with my go to technique at the moment wich is rusty.
To finish I added a simple sentiment.
I hope you like it, take care for now and I’ll you soon Debs xx
