Creative colour Challenge and GPP #43

There are two challenges that look at stretching your artistic abilities which I am participating in:

Creative Colour Challenge hosted by Louise Gale

and the GPP Challenge hosted by Michelle Ward.

With the Colour Challenge, a new colour is posted each Sunday. This past week the colour was Sunflower Yellow. Although I love sunflowers, I do not wear or use yellow much. So it was fun to splash away with yellow paint and work with texture as well. Here is my entry for the first week.

I hope to use this as a base for more artwork.

I can't wait to see what the next challenge colour will be on Sunday!

The GPP Challenge this month was "Text Messaging" (C#43) , using text, words or phrases to create a collage. I enjoyed this as I love words. I went through several magazines and had lots or words to choose from. At first, I tried to place them randomly but words seem top fit together so there is a bit of working together of the words.

The phrase at the became 2 poems playing off each other!

Using text is a lot of fun and can be the base of a journal page. I aim to photocopy my page, gesso it and build up!
