My friend Sandy asked if I’d do another canvas featuring her published poem. She wanted to give it to her mom who encouraged her to enter the contest in the first place.
I reworked a previous canvas that never felt quite done to me.
Sandy’s words in addition to the changes have now made this a completed work.
Two completed canvases
My art ADD has come back in full force. I have many different projects all in progress at the same time and in the same small space.
I’m reworking a canvas as another edition of my friend Sandy’s poem.
I finished a couple of crochet dishcloths this week. Neither one is perfect by an stretch of the imagination but I’m fine with that.
Journal page in progress. I’m trying to remember to leave this free of bulking embellishments as this spiral journal is filling fast and the pages will soon not turn on the tiny spiral if I keep up with the bulk.
In the past week I sold 3 pieces of terrain. I’m thrilled! It has inspired me to make more. I’ve been priming and trying out different combinations for my recycled pieces.
As well as playing around with foam and a plastic bottle. I love the challenge of making something out of nothing. I’m hoping that this will look like a crashed vessel that has weathered over time.
See what I mean…all over the place! My mind is going this way and that. So many ideas, so little time and space.
I don’t know if I’m at liberty to show the poem on the canvas yet….hence the partial photo with words blurred.
My friend Sandy entered a poetry contest and won! Her poem is going to be published. She asked me if I’d do an art piece with her words.
The funny thing is that I had started this canvas became “stuck” at a certain point. I felt that it needed words.
Low and behold…the words fell into my lap. After the words, I added a couple of collage pieces from an old children’s book I saved from the trash heap.
I hope she loves it as much as I do…
UPDATE: She does love it!
Here’s a photo of the whole canvas
