Paint Party # 10 and the Full flower full moon

Part 1: The thrifty painter

When I´m working on other pieces and prepare my colours I use till the last drop of acrylics. I´ve been playing with paint on magazine pages. Practicing layers and drippings with what was left of my girl in the doorway.

I wanted to see the result from afar before adding words (as in an art journal, only working of separate papers) so I taped the pages with masking tape to a picture at the far end of the dining room (which is doubling up as a craft room these days). Just imagine my hubbie´s surprise when he opened the blinds the next day. :D My own private exhibition. I´m easily amused. ;)
Part 2: Where I paint without paint.

Another double spread for my Wishcasting Journal by Jamie Ridler. Using images and words from magazines and coloured pens.
My cross stitch dragon. Fifteen years in the making and soooooo close to being completed. Using coloured threads.
Part 3: Time for a Full Moon board! You can post your own board somewhere on the web and then link to it at Jamie Ridler´s post for this month´s moon.

As usual for the past three years I use the current issue of the chosen magazine (this year Oh La Lá)

If you see this board as too grey and schematic ... that is exactly how I´m feeling about my pieces this past two weeks. *sigh*
Side B got a bit busier but I still don´t see what all this is about. It´s been a long time since I´ve been so perplexed by a board.

Thanks for visiting! Looking forward to what you´ve been up to this week. See you in cyber space! :)
