The Northern calendar has turned to fall, colors are changing, it's cool enough for a cost today! Though I haven't painted energy day, I've enjoyed adding several layers, and
Blooming and Codes
some crackle paste to my canvas! I've had it awhile, but hadn't used it yet - needed to add a thicker layer to get crackles! Have you tried something new recently? Whether it's fall for thou or spring, October is a good time to attend to self care.
Ask yourself, are there a few things you'd like to add to, or subtract from your daily routine
Are there some friends you would like to spend more time with, or some you need to ease away from?
What creative practices bring you joy, or soothe your soul?
Often playing with image and color well will you answers, so pull out a sketchbook and coloring materials, and feel into these questions! Trust your intuition to give you answers. Happy Paint Party Friday! And #30daysofselfcarechallenge
You made me think of my "creative excursions" to fabric stores! I used to love seeing and feeling all the different types of fabric and it's been quite a while since I did that. Thank you for your post - wonderful!
Thank you! Fabric or craft or art store excursions are the best, aren't they, Lori? Mmmm ❤ Yes, Lisa, the crackle paste was a total experiment, and my first layer was too light for much of an effect! My second try was thicker, and o mixed in some paint, so that worked better!
Hi Nadya ! Have to say I didn't quite know that Dia is your other name! For self care today I mindfully relaxed and flowed thru most of the day. It was a nice change.
Lovely work!
