creativity round up for the week Mixed Media!

 

 Welcome to this week's creativity round up! I've spent creative time drawing, painting, learning via youtube videos, and sewing.  The color pink stood out this week in all areas. 

 Rainbow Scrap challenge  this month is using pink.  I wanted to not only play with scraps but do the table scraps challenge for next week, I started with getting out my stamps and ink to include the word peace... full pic and details of that next week but it is finished, and hanging in the family room

More sewing with scraps caused me to build this piece little bit by little frayed bit

to continue my love affair with improv geese, then I included this strip of tiny scraps made earlier... I'm liking it... the name strips and squares is in my mind

see how small the strips are?

I love the serendipity of putting fabric to fabric and what it makes...

So I added it in, with some other sewn bits including the small print on the bottom right. 

It is a digital print of one of my paintings, tiny thumbnails printed on fabric and pieced into a component to use

I'm liking how this is growing! All from scraps. I see it going on my bed table. Stay tuned!

I finished my spring banner except for binding... and LOVE it, showing that next week y'all as it was initially started for my table scraps challenge using a word...

pink scraps formed the letters

I finished one audio book and started another this week while creating

I've been interested in the application of zentangles and doodled these from a video onto my calendar

I like the strong graphics. I love botanicals so I thought I might paint a flower then draw these kinds of lines all over them

in pinks...just in the sketchbook not on watercolor paper, I was still able to practice layering, transparency, capturing a delicate overlay of petals...

I doodled over the green area

I loved the delicacy of colors but added in just a hint of watercolor pencil to define them... see?

adding a delicate pencil line to imply a stem

I tried to make myself add in lines, but only got so far as a hint of yellow and some watercolor pencil

Then I liked them all so much I stopped. It's a sketchbook, a place to experiment, learn and try out ideas... I dated it and turned the page...

I watched the following video and was stunned by the artist's technique of sewing on real leaves. I'm not really considering doing that exactly but her joining stitches were wonderful, so I sketched them to remember, and thought about how I'd use them in my work... yes it all goes together doesn't it? Each idea, each technique learned, each medium tried... if you think what if... it can merge into your own unique work

I have been creating for years and not much astounds me but this did...

this show is on youtube

"meet the artist" by Arnold's Attic,   is #41 in series so I have lots more to go see.... how exciting!

I'll tie this up with a background painted this week... in aqua and pink and golden yellow with white dots across it... time will tell if I have the nerve to draw over it! Maybe I'll do something completely ot of the box, what do you think?
