ART on Friday

It is already February - and another week has gone by.
Here are a few things I've been working on this week.

Colour Me Positive
This week at LuLu Art, the theme is self esteem - loving ourselves.I chose not to use the quote given (I'm not fat. God gave me airbags because I am precious).I found two others I related to much better.

I have decided to take part in Louise Gale's "A Year of Colour" I created a colour wheel for the background from magazine pages.

28 Faces
This month there is a new challenge - to create 28 faces.
Here are mine from this week - small ones to fill the blocks:(sorry for the poor quality)

Here is my art table where I was working on the backgrounds for my cards above.

and here is my dining room table where I finished the cards.

ART on Friday - on Saturday

This week has sped by and was quite busy. Every day my husband and I attended a workshop on heart health - to help him with his cardiac rehab. I have learned so much this week - from medications, to stress management and foods. But the information is helpful and hopefully will ensure my husband improves.
I did some art this week but not as much as I would have liked. Here is a look at wy work this week:

Colour Me Positive
This week the theme from LuLu Art was on how we treat pople. How appropriate, after the terrible treatment of Muslims by Trump and Co. What was heartening was seeing the demonstrations against the "Muslim Ban" all across the U.S. and around the world. Even our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, offered refuge for those effected by the ban.
Here is my journal spread:

The Collage Workbook
I only worked on one project this week - #28 Flora. I'm definitely enjoying the projects from this book, and assessing my work after they are done.
I love flowers and have al ot of floral paper and stamps.
Here are the 4 cards I created:

Project 365
This week I created feathers with zens on them - a relaxing project.

WOYWW

Each week, Julia Dunnit of "Stamping Ground", encourages us to share our work spaces and what we are working on.

I decided to take part in two challenges this week - Tag Tuesday and Sunday Postcard Art.

Tag Tuesday
The theme this week was "Stones and Pebbles". I used a gelli print I had and found a quote I love by Michelangelo to create my tag.

Here's my dining room table after it was finished.

Sunday Postcard Art
I haven't taken part in this challenge very much, but the theme seemed like it would be fun. Again I used a gelli print I had and then embellished it with stamped circles and some drawn circles.

Here's my table after finishing the card.

ABC Wednesday - C

This week at ABC Wednesday, C has centre stage.

I found 3 great quotes for speaking out.
So, C is for:

Tamoa Calsadilla

Catherine of Siena

Coco Chanel

Be sure to check here to see what others around the world did for C.

ART on Friday

This past week has sped by. Hard to believe we are more than half way through January.

Here are a few things I worked on this week.

Colour Me Positive

This week at LuLu Art, the theme is new beginnings. It seems that with the new president in the US, the quote should be reversed - painful beginnings, sad endings; too many closed doors.

The Collage Workbook

I created a few more collages based on the projects from The Collage Workbook.

Black and white

Typography - letters and words

Sketch a Day
Here are the latest flower sketches for my 365 sketch project:
