Almost my bedtime ….

It is 11.48pm on a Monday night.  Here I sit.  In my artroom.  This is my favourite room in the house.  I have the music playing, I have my little baby bird on my shoulder and my hands are messy with paint.  And gesso.  And ink.  I don’t like to wash it off.  I would just leave them like that all the time if I could.  It feels creative.  Washing them feels like I am washing away the creativity …..

So before I take myself off to bed and call it a day I wanted to share with you tonight’s creation while it is still fresh in my mind.  It will actually be the sample for my Mixed Media 101 class on at Scraptivate this Wednesday and Saturday …..

I did take a full shot of the page but I can’t share it with you tonight.  Poor lighting and me being lazy meant the photo came out blurry …..

There are layers of collage here, book text, magazine images …. layered with stamping, acrylic paint washes, more stamping, masking, a touch of gesso and so on ….

I have a canvas to share with you too, and some photos of this awesome spider that was in my backyard last night …. but my eyes are getting sleepy ….

So
Goodnight my lovelies
Go create something.  While I sleep.

There was a whole world out there, waiting to be discovered, and she was eager to be a part of it.
