"Hope is heavy at times, and other times it becomes your wings and lifts you up. That's the thing about hope....sometimes you carry it and sometimes it carries you." Kristin Kory
I made a couple neutral master collage sheets this morning using pages from books and music. I used soft matte gel medium to glue everything down and as a top coat. This spatula works well spreading the glue and smoothing things out...and there's no brush to clean up!
I used old calendar pages as my substrate...and this particular bird happen to land on back of one of my cutoffs.
The stripes are watercolored on artists tape...an experiment from a while ago. I think it makes a striking background for the tags.
Oh, you have been puttering joyfully, MaryAnn! I take such pleasure in imagining the little leaps of pleasure you took as your open mind and heart made connections and layers.
ReplyDeleteYou always make what I do sound so magical! Thanks for that Dotty!
DeleteI just love these, MaryAnn. They’re beautiful and so thoughtful. I think the layering you’re creating gives them panache and style. I would love to join you in this project and can see a pile of these in a box on each of our desks, just waiting to go out and brighten someone’s day. I have “a few” master boards and chaos papers, which is what an artist I follow calls them. What to call them? Words of Encouragement, Hearten Words, Words of Cheer. They’ll be special no matter what you call them. ♥️
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Roseanne! Your comment warms my heart...and I'm looking forward to seeing the pile on your work table. Carry on!
