Friday - Weekly Wrap Up and the Summer Solstice Begins!

This week I decided to do a little dot painting. It's been a while since I've done one and it's wonky but in my own way, I adore it because it is wonky. I'll be hanging it on the Groovy Peace Wall as soon as it's been protected with matte medium.

 

With the leftover paint on my Gelli plate—acting as a palette for moments like this (because who wants to waste paint?)—I managed to pull six new pieces of collage fodder. In the photo above, the piece on the right started as an ink painting with black ink and colored pens. It wasn’t going quite as planned, so I set it aside. Now, though, I’m actually really into the way the leftover paint has interacted with the colors underneath—it almost looks like flowers. Pretty cool!

 

A year ago I made this mosaic and was disappointed in it because the white lettering faded into the mirror unless I held it like so. I finally decided to use a paint marker and ink brush combo on the lettering in black.

 

I love it! And it's back on the Celestial Wall where it belongs.

 

It's hard to believe but the end of June is almost upon us as well as the Summer Solstice beginning today!

I'll be heading away from the social media scene from Monday, June 23rd and will return on July 7th.

Lots of naps with the fur grandbabies are predicted.

 

In between those weeks I'll also be celebrating a few family members birthdays, a major holiday involving hot dogs and fireworks and a lot of time enjoying playing with paint, working on art journals and maybe even the next mosaic. Time will tell. I'm going with the flow!

Enjoy the first days of summer and expect to see a slew of photos once I've returned.

 

 

Enjoy the journey.
