Even though the dust bunnies beckon, I'm continuing to work on my Travel Journal....
Quinacridones, tissue paper, molding paste and stencil to start.......
I knew what I wanted my focal point to be when I started.....rare as that is....
A photo from Tivoli gardens in Italy that doesn't come close to capturing the essence of that path....it was long...so full of sights, sounds, smells...beautiful and magical.
It got complicated thinking about the vision and layers of construction involved....
The maintenance....nurturing....discipline....persistence....
The back breaking, sweaty diligence.....
That resulted in this exquisitely beautiful path....exuding tranquility....peace....appreciation.....respect....
It inspires me....helps me...soothes me....and encourages me to stay steady on my path....

Beautiful page, I just bought the same stencil and traced it with pencil for an embroidery pattern on a building in a small art quilt I'm working on. It's neat to see the same stuff used in different ways :)
ReplyDeleteThat is "artfully arranged" - really superb.
