Wallpaper

This week’s creative prompt is Wallpaper. Look to your own favorite papered walls for inspiration of pattern and color… use wallpaper scraps in your art… design your own desktop wallpaper… or perhaps feature wallpaper somehow in an illustration, painting, collage or sketch.

I took this opportunity to try a few different things that I was curious about. I used plaster to make the raised stencil and then laid the paint on with baby wipes...going over with different colors and wiping it off....Once done, I decided that my wallpaper needed a message! Although I only allow myself 10 minutes for these little 4 by 4 pieces...I am happy with the results and will try this process on a larger piece in the future.

Happy Easter to all who venture here.... And may you continue to GROW as we approach this time of renewal and rebirth of Spring!

Ink Blot...Stawberry

This weeks challenge was INK BLOT....Seeing as I do not have ink I used acrylic paint...
a couple drops of red..yellow and green...Of course it looked just like a ripe juicy strawberry! Did a water color wash for the background. I am going to try some more and see if something a little more CRAZY can come out!! This is great FUN!

In this second ink blot....I saw a Chinese mask!

Food for Thought...

It has been a long time since I did an IMT prompt...This week the prompt was kitchen...
I have been spending time in my kitchen, making some great soups and chocolate chip brownies..but I have spent more time typing on this machine!! So I have combined the two! This was great fun!
