Sunday Weekly Wrap-up

Time for a sharing of my art explorations from the past week - a little bit of everything.

Journal 52
I follow this weekly challenge but I haven't participated for a while. this past week's challenge appealed to me as I just received this quote from Suzanne Lieurance - her advice is to say this every day on waking.

What a wonderful way to start the day!

Stamps
I've been trying to carve a stamp a day and I have only missed a few days. These are some of my Christmasy ones.

(made me realize I need new stamp pads!)


ATCs
I created a couple of sets of ATCs this week.

Christmas ZENS

PAT cards

ZEN Project
I have completed more zens.

Photography
Here are a couple of photos from the week - it was a snowy one! And now the snow is gone!

Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

I did not create much art these past couple of weeks. I have not been very consistent with blogging the past couple of months either.
May was a difficult month. It started with the death of my father-in-law and I found myself quite withdrawn.
Today though, is June 1 - and with it, comes some new resolves:

*create daily with Daisy Yellow's - ICAD project. I took part last year during  June and July and so enjoyed creating collages.

* be more regular in blogging and visiting others. I have missed both.

*complete work on several online art courses.

* have fun with art - just spend some time creating as much as possible, using supplies I have stockpiled (!)

I worked on a mandala for last week's prompt. I was watching a show on Maya Angelou tonight and I created a collage in her honour. The background and the mandalas are gelli prints.

ICAD14
Daisy Yellow is starting 1CAD again, for June and July. I enjoy creating these collages on index cards.
I used gelli paper scraps and chose a couple of words as a focus.

Finally - posting on a Sunday! I have had a busy few weeks, with writing and tutoring, so really haven't created much art. I've missed it though. Today I had some fun collaging and created a few pieces.

Full Worm Moon Dreamboard
Tonight is the full worm moon and I had to create my dreamboard. I wrote about it here, complete with the how to's of creating it.

Here are some of my dreams for the month ahead.


Journal 52/ One Word
I have been enjoying the weekly challenges at Journal 52 and have completed a couple of collages for the prompts. "Dream" is also one of the prompts at 'One Little Word".

Stars
I loved these quotes by Maya Angelou

and
Harriet Tubman

so created with both.

Colour Swatch inspiration:
My colours were orange and turquoise and I used gelli papers and another quote about dreaming - for the full moon!

Writing
I have been writing daily for the March Slice of Life  challenge at "Two Writing Teachers". It has been a challenge at times deciding what to write about, but I am enjoying it.
