Creative Spark!

Thanks to Kristen from Twinkle Twinkle  I am inspired with a creative spark to make art, jewelry and whatever comes to mind, in color. She is hosting "Summer of Color Artists Choice 2013" every week she has a poll on color combos and we all vote then make something creative with the colors. This is the first week.

 The colors are-

Citron Green & Turquoise.

I decided to make an art piece.

I started with a gelli print I had made last month in my shop. It had some of the colors as you can see.

I added this Dylusions spray in citron green and used this beautiful Lumiere sparkly dark turquoise.

 Shelf liner from the kitchen is great for texture.

I also used a circle punchinella with the spray.

I got paint all over my fingers looks like mermaid skin.

I used these supplies. I love the Lumiere metallic to make a turquoise to paint this paper for the blind it has such neat texture bumps. 

I cut this paper up into circles and funny swirly shapes.

This was my watercolor paper I used underneath the others to avoid paint on my desk. It turned out neat so I used it as the background paper.

I then glued all the shapes down. I drew a woman and flowers on the circles as well as a bird wheel, waves, and a little boarder.

I randomly drew some cards from my Wayne Dyer inner wisdom deck and these lovely sayings came to me. I have had some things in my life that appeared to be problems but I realized they were my negative thoughts. These quotes really drove it home to me. Above her head it says-

" I work on my problems, and release them." 

In the swirl it says-

"Anything that bothers you is only a problem within only you can experience it and only you can correct it." 

I had more words but I wasn't sure where to put them so I laid them down all over the place trying to find the right composition.

They landed on the gelli print-

" I trust the perfection of the universe."

Send out love and harmony, put your mind and body in a peaceful place, and then allow the universe to work in the perfect way it knows how."

Finally it came together I outlined the words and added the word TRUST to the bottom as a reminder that whatever is happening in my life I can trust it has a lesson and meaning. My thoughts about it might not be true and so I should question those and try to stay positive. Art does heal! :)

This is so fun I can't wait to see what next weeks color is, my guess is it might be watermelon and tangerine? These sound like wonderful colors. 

Have a great day!

Love,

Chandra
