What an absolutely wonderful exercise!!! I think I missed that Nicholos episode. I just love his teachings, small tips that have lots of power. Three beautiful cards!!!
Fun for sure! Love reading your blog Dotty :)
I really like the steps you are taking. Especially the word 'Scissors'! ;-)
It's so wonderful to approach a clean slate with playing and activation as the only goals. I sometimes wonder how my painting life might have evolved differently if play boards and waking up a canvas were my first introduction to painting—not that it matters one way or the other in the end. Glad you like these card starts. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks, Sheila. Love having you as a lively reader : )
I do love my scissors! They lead me to volunteer compositions that I love, and knowing they're always in the wings offers up more freedom in what I bring to a canvas. Thanks for your comments : )
Oh, my..you've been so busy. I need to catch up, as usual. I'm always running behind. I haven't been able to sign into my blog reader for a week or so because every time I try to it says the connection isn't secure. I don't want to get hacked again, so I've haven't been reading blogs. :(
The crosshatching piece speaks to me. It reminds me of frost on a winter window.
Bummer that you've had trouble signing into your blog reader. Reminds me, I have to follow up on a cyber misfire this morning.
Thank you for stopping by!
I can see frost on a winter window in my crosshatched layer also!
