Path of Positivity: Starry Nights

 

Hello

 Welcome to the Path of Positivity Challenge. #121.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. We have decided that our overall theme for 2024 will be THE POWER OF WORDS.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about Art /Creativity.

Here are this month's quotes, but you can choose your own:

“Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought.” — Albert Einstein

“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.” — Oprah Winfrey

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” — Pablo Picasso

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” — Edgar Degas

“You use a glass mirror to see your face. You use works of art to see your soul.” — George Bernard Shaw

Honours and Prizes include:
  • $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
  • A badge for the following honours: Top PickVoter's ChoiceMost InspirationalRandom WinnerDT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project.


I made two postcards which I will place in my A6 journal. 
My all time favourite artist is Van Gogh and I had these lovely Mosaic Sky images from Conjurer of Dreams, so I decided to put them to use. 
I made a finger painted background using PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics, adding blobs and swirls of colour in three shades of blue (Inky Pool, Shutters and Southern Skies). I then watered down some gold paint and splattered all over and swiped the remaining gold paint along the edges.


I matted two of the images onto gold paper and sourced an image of Van Gogh from Gecko Galz. I fussy cut him and inked around the edges in Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I typed two Van Gogh quotes, printed them out and cut them into strips to add at the base of the postcards.

That's all for now.
We would love to see your creations! 
Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!
