Explore, Dream, Discover



This is another piece inspired by Our Mixed Media Moods by DeeDee Catron & Jenn Engle. I love what they do in their art and have finally been brave enough to film a short clip of myself creating. I wasn't brave enough to speak yet, but it's start.
We know how these challenges often overlap and I found that what I created also fitted perfectly with the latest Paper Artsy challenge, Pink & Orange. Traditionally we probably wouldn't put these colours together but in art they look amazing and I loved this piece and the colour combination is sure to appear again. I was especially drawn to the boldness of the Dina Wakley piece, but also the subtleness of Elise Engh's feathers, as posted on the PA blog.

Here is Our MMM inspiration board. My inspiration came from the cloours, top left, and the roses, botton middle.

  1. Wow, just watched your video. What intuitive art you are creating. I love how it all came together and when you stamped the butterflies I smiled. So pleased that I found this, it is really outstanding! X

    2. You are very welcome Raewyn. It gave some life to your creation which helped me to follow how you had done it. I love your style and look forward to seeing more of your work. Did you know that Leandra and Mark Franich, the owners of PaperArtsy are from New Zealand?

    3. Yes, thanks, I did know that. I think I discovered one of Leandra's videos first which lead me to Paper Artsy - was a relief to hear a familiar accent. There's not too many NZers doing videos that I have found - Imight get brave and talk one day :)

    1. Thanks for your encouragement. Will have to do some more, but you have to be a little organised! I often have no idea where I'm heading with a page.
