Here's my page for Kasia's Advent Calendar Day 9, the theme was Breathe.
We were asked to do simple breathing exercise and meditation, breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, and breathe out for 8 counts. Then to make a some art. I started with a book page from a bird book, then used my fingers to apply paint. I used a pinecone to make white marks, my finger to make green ones on RH side. I used Dina Wakley Scribble sticks for writing and red marks, and splatters of dark blue. A black gel pen was used to highlight words and add scribbles.
Thanks for the visit,
Alison xx
Lovely page, and I'm sure the breathing helped. Hugs Valerie
ReplyDeleteThose words look etched the way you've done them, Alison. Love the birds, great addition. Sometimes we need to refocus on just breathing again, that's a definite! I should've read this yesterday, when going for a minor procedure! Maybe I'll be able to visit blogs a little more now if it works... I'll try to catch up on the rest of your Advent pages. Happy Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteThe breathing meditation sounds like it might unlock creativity when directly followed by the art. I especially like those dark blue "splatter" elements.
ReplyDeleteto paint a decidedly great page with your fingers and set your inner freedom to paint with your breath!!!
