This page started with the blue daisy that is in the background. I used this page to clean off left over paint on a stencil. I added some yellow to the page but didn't love it. Then I stamped a grid on half the page but that didn't do it either. Finally I painted over the whole darn page with a light olive green. I tell you all this because sometimes pages flow and sometimes they don't. This was a don't. When one of these comes along, I just keep at it.
I really wanted a face on this page but all of my stamps were too small and attempting to draw a face just irritates the crap out of me. Then I remember this napkin that I mailed to a friend last week. I had another in my stash and away I went. I like how the daisy peeks out from behind her. The lemon in the corner and the leaf were on the back side of the napkin.
I made a few marks using a credit card and a piece of plastic screening. I thought they were just what this piece needed to be complete.
As for the quote..... my life feels full of abundance. I have a job, a home, a darling dog, a wonderful family and good friends (not listed in order of importance). And I have my art. My art keeps me balanced. I am so very blessed.
I hope your days are filled with abundance.
Beautiful work Boo. Annette x
ReplyDeleteFabulous creation. I love using napkins too, but don't do it very often. I spend an awful lot of time looking at and reading about art, looking for inspiration and admiring the works of others instead of making more of my own, but I feel so guilty if I don't visit everyone on my 'blog list' or try to comment on everyones fb posting or flickr...........Give me more hours & I can do it all, hahaha :D
