paint party Friday collage on paper and fabric

I've been inspired by the online class from Jen Blencowe (https://janblencowe.com/free-gift/)
and did the start to a mixed media piece. I took a magazine photo as inspiration for this yogi
then cut words out from the same magazine to form a message.

I used the painted coffee filters from Sonja Hageman for the pillow. So far just glued down
I'm not so good at body proportions yet but I'll improve! I loved the color of her shirt, deep blue and deep purple blended wet on the paper, which is mixed media paper.
My friend Mary in Boulder is taking a watercolor class, and painted fruit, which inspired me to paint some from HER painting, and doodle, and paint another quickest face, which of course I like better than a lot of the ones I worked at! I just love her soft features and eyes.
still needs painting and glue

Today's work with Jen B. was stone circles, and pathways. I cut out an article from the magazine, then cut out stones and laid them in a meditation spiral. She asked:

Are you ready to step on the path to a new stage of your life?


 Well, that's going to take some thought.


In honor of my birthday month (and Bob Dylan's birthday)  and for anyone with a soft impressionable heart, for those who seek meaning and love...
