It's just that between work and school I feel like there is just no time for anything else! I have all of these ideas in my head and I just want to paint, crochet, take pictures, MAKE ART!
So one of the ideas that I can't stop thinking about is a mixed media piece based on lyrics to one of my favorite songs..."Imaginary" by Evanescence. The lyrics are as follows:
In my field of paper flowers,
and candy clouds of lullaby,
I lie inside myself for hours,
and watch my purple sky fly over me.
So in my head I picture a large canvas, with a painted purple sky with pink spray-painted polyfill for "candy clouds". Then at he bottom, a deep green painted background in which I will place a photograph of my goddaughter, Madison laying on the ground staring up at the sky. I will cut her out of the photo that I take and just use HER. She will be surrounded by a field of handmade paper flowers made from black and purple paper and maybe some printed papers as well. I'm thinking of writing lyrics on the black paper with a white sharpie before cutting the petal shapes.
This totally looks awesome in my mind, so I just hope it all pulls together when I actually MAKE it! I will be sure to post pics while in progress and when finished!
Until then, HAPPY FALL!
