Quote Wednesday - Emily Carr

Look at the earth crowded with growth, new and old bursting from their strong roots hidden in the silent, live ground, each seed according to its own kind, each one knowing what to do, each one demanding its own rights on the earth.  So artist, you too from the deeps of your soul let your roots creep forth, gaining strength....Emily Carr

As artists we have a responsibility to share our creativity with the world..

Each Quote Wednesday I share a quote with a photograph that I have taken. Quotes can be so inspiring and uplifting it is a good idea to meditate on the words and make a point of saying something encouraging about your life!  Do something great!  

Join me next week for the next inspiring quote and image. Blessings

Word for the Week - Ephesians 5:1

I will be an imitator of God, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved me and gave himself up for me as a fragrant offering and sacrificed to God

Ephesians 5:1

As you meditate on the scripture and enjoy the image ask and think about the many gifts you have been given, the many challenges you face, and the fruit that will come from the work of your hands. 

Words and images for the week, to bless, encourage and inspire you to be all that you have been called to be. 

What will you do with what you have been given today?

Stay blessed and be a blessing

My Color is Beautiful - Blog Hop Day - Amanda Trought

I would like to thank Tiare Smith for kicking off the blog hop for My Color is Beautiful Art 2015 Workshop. Tiare has brought together a team of inspiring creatives of which I have been asked to contribute - no pressure then!  I can't tell you how excited I am to be taking part, this is my first online teaching session, and I have a lot of exciting things to share with you as part of my lesson. 

What you will cover in my lesson!

I am excited to get you working with paints, ephemera, stencils, stamps, and we will be working on canvas using mixed media techniques to celebrate who we are, you will select your favorite colours, do bit of journalling and play with stamps and stencils as the foundation and create an image. We will be then pull out of the foundation an image and build on it using color and finish off by embellishing with beads, jewelry, and stitching,  We will be creating many layers of beautiful color that dances off the page.
