This is a ‘pay to do’ class so I won’t share the details as such, but here’s the start of my May pages. The album is so full already it’s getting hard to scan the pages right to the edge near the spiral binding!

colourmepositive week 20
The quote was from Socrates, and the challenge was to incorporate bubbles. I used gel hand sanitiser to remove paint through a bubble stencil in some areas – this only works if you have used gesso first.

This week’s quote was a fun one, and the challenge was to use feathers on the page. I have a feather stencil I love, so grabbed some gold paint and got to work.

This week’s quote was from Julia Cameron, who wrote The artists way. The bonus challenge was to use a heart/s on the page. I suspect my heart was not quite what they were thinking of! I used a StencilGirl stencil, other stencils, Dylusions paint and Golden Fluid acrylics. In the bottom left you can see, under the red border, that I started stamping a different border but didn’t like it. I left it there because the joy is in the process of creation and the final page doesn’t have to be perfect…

This week’s quote was about finding your tribe. The bonus challenge was to carve a stamp, which I decided not to do. I enjoyed this because Seth Godin’s book about tribes really spoke to me some years ago, and I have found two tribes I “love hard” – artists, and librarians on Twitter. Golden Fluid acrylics, Dina Wakley paint, Tim Holtz stencils, Dylusions stamps, Distress Markers, white gel pen.
