Autumn in Abstract

 Hello everyone 

I hope you all had a creative weekend? 

I had a whole Sunday to myself what a treat 

but with so many things on my creative to do list 

I was overwhelmed where to start or what to do... 

Looking through my online courses I noticed a bonus workshop 

had dropped into my Soulful Abstracts course by Laly Mille.. 

This is where Sunday took me. 

Orange is not my colour, you may be shocked by this as my 

Art Journey Journal theme is *My Favourite Colour is October* 

Nature wears Orange so much better than I ever could. 

This workshop takes you on a journey facing your fears of 

unconfident colour, introducing it into your artwork alongside 

colours you're more comfortable with which for me are mainly neutral.

Layering unfavoured paper scrap colours, scribbling on shades of 

orange neocolour II's. All blended into the background by finger 

smudging white gesso, random stamping and dark inky drips. 

I call this mixed media piece *Autumn in Abstract*

 

now I feel the need to create something in purple 😏

Wishing you all a very Creative week 

Hugs Tracey xx

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #131 Picture Inspiration

 Hello Creative Friends. 

It's time for a new challenge over @ Paperbabe Stamps 

This fortnight we give you a Picture for Inspiration below. 

Use it to inspire you and come share your creativity HERE.

*Here's my interpretation of the challenge*

Inspired by the colours and shapes in the picture prompt and techniques 

discovered during a Laly Mille workshop I created a divided journal page. 

Working within the lines I've used scraps from previous Paperbabe 

creations using Paperbabe STAMPs and STENCILs, embossed pastes, 

paint, leaves and lace to create a mixed media journal page.. 

Here's a closer look of my two favourites 

A happy little leaf family.. 

Uplifting quote from Picasso alongside a dormant Sunday best dress..

Whether i'll keep this A3 page as it is, create a smaller journal 

or divide each section individually, i'm undecided but I must say 

the process was very relaxing to work on from start to finish..

Look forward to seeing your 

#131 Picture Inspiration creations. 

Stay safe & creative 

Tracey xx
