I've been making my sister Nancy a small 2022 desk calendar....and just realized it's almost April. The wind chill this morning was 17 degrees....so it felt like January.
April was inspired by some of the blue metallic scraps I found on my table yesterday.....and I found the little "self love" in Angie's snippets.

I'm always curious how the papers will respond to the paint ....especially ones that were already a color. I love the mix of colors in this one.
I started with a simple 4 piece collage on a lightweight substrate....then stitched and cut out a heart.
I layered few scraps on the background including a piece of the handwriting fodder and did a couple more rows of stitching around the heart attaching it to the calendar page.
I think I like the back just as much.
The other 3 calendar pages....and a little bit about Angie can be found in these posts.
That got me thinking about blues....and I painted some of my commercial paper scraps a deep indigo blue today.
This is what these three papers looked like before I painted them.....the color possibilities are endless. I love this process!
It started off as bright shades of pink...and here is it painted a couple different ways.
