Not much to say today...just listening the the pitter patter of rain rolling off my roof and crackle splattering onto the ground below. Something about falling rain that also kind of sounds like bacon frying. Every notice? Ok, maybe it's just me. ;) Just wanted to share a little blue girl I collaged for a challenge on the
Paper Whimsy forum. I like to join in on swaps and challenges every so often just to keep those creative sparks going.
I know I need to do more free-flow "no expectations or goals" kind of creating. I know then and only then will I find my true art voice. But in the meantime, it is still fun to be prompted and given homework to jump start my art. (Oh, bad 80s song is coming to mind...be gone!)
I cannot believe that Artfest is only a month away. And then Convenzione. And then Teesha and Tracy Moore's journaling weekend (on my due date!! I'm totally tempting fate here...I envision going into labor just as the last stitch is made in my journal and the last little bits have been collage onto the pages!) And then the little one will be here. (!) Anxiety and denial has officially turned into joy and anticipation! I'm ready (or as ready as I can be). It will be different, for sure. How will I make art and breastfeed and change diapers and get Maya to school on time and...? It will all come together.
Had to scan this in tonight before bed. I decided at the last minute to participate in Helga's Weekly Art Challenge. This week's theme was green and pink. It was a fun color combo to work with. Made me dream of the return of spring! But fall is on my mind as the summer weather wilts away and cool breezes tiptoe their way through the sun bleached skies. We had one last heat wave and now it looks like summer is finally conceding to fall...just in time for Halloween! But that's another project/blog entry all together. I'm sad to see summer go, but I am gladly welcoming cooler temperatures and the smell of smoke and decaying leaves and crisp night air.
Entry #2 for the Paper Whimsy quotes challenge. The prompts are poems by poet Hilda Conkling (when she was a child). They are very whimsical and dreamy and sweet little poems. I plan to make a book out of all of the collages and give it to Maya. We'll see what next week's challenge brings!
