For this week's therapy session. *wink*
Quiet. Solitude. Serenity. Those are what I crave when I’m in a bad mood. I’m not one to sulk for very long. I have to get through whatever is bugging me and in order to do that, I need calm. I need to be alone. With kids being homeschooled during the day and everyone being home in the evenings, I find I get in bad moods when I don’t have quiet time. I need it. My brain begs for it. If I have that calm I’m able to think over problems, plan what to do next and how to go about it. I need serenity.
What I Did:
I started with an old white tablecloth and cut a piece. Spritzed with Glimmer Mist (pink). Added layers of papers/stamps. Stenciled ‘S’ w/Shiva Paintstiks & rubon letters for the word (outlined all in gel pen.) Image is from AlteredPages. I sewed, strung beads and gathered the fabric strip. Used a broken piece of trim from an old bed on the top as well as a flower from a 1930’s hat and button from my great grandma. I swiped glue around the edges and sprinkled pink glitter. Sewed on flowers & beads and glittered them as well. Sewed jeweled necklace piece on the to as a hanger. I then glued the whole piece to mat board for support. It hangs in my art room wall to remind me to take time to be calm.
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteI hear and feel your need for Quiet peaceful time, I like to think of it as "Oneness", we all need a chance to just be at one with ourselves from time to time.
What a very relaxing canvas.
Peace Love and chicken grease! (ROFL)

This is one of my favorite pieces you have done. Love the glitter and the flowers & beads.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and surprising way to use those elements! It is really lovely. I hope it dispelled your bad mood! Creating something often works for me too, but I don't know that I could make this. You have a lot of talent and creativity.
