for tag tuesday's latest challenge: blue and green. our challenge host is wendy.
for this tag i use a sheet of dictionary paper to affix to my cardboard tag base, then spritzed it with blue and green watercolors. i took a tim holtz paper doll and colored it with blue and green alcohol markers. i added a flower, a dominoes border and a word i thought represented this fierce little girl.
love to all.
for sunday postcard art: light and darkness. with images from retired mischief circus kits by itKuPiLLi, holliewood studios, tumblefish studios, and miles beyond the moon.
some quotes about light and dark:
“Gotta have opposites, light and dark and dark and light, in painting. It’s like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in awhile so you know when the good times come. I'm waiting on the good times now.”― Bob Ross
“Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.”
— Madeline L’Engle
“In the midst of darkness, light persists.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
— Brené Brown

at our midweek muse we were asked to share about the secret life of birds. i asked my neighborhood birds if they had a secret they could share. they provided me this photo, so long as i only shared it here, now, with just you blog friends. apparently birds like to party with fancy ladies...

what's a good goal for life at any time? i strive to be more present and mindful, that's a good one for me.
for our midweek muse: resolutions.
background pattern paper is from the gecko galz namaste paper pack with a checkerboard pattern at base from a retired itKuPiLLi celestial backgrounds kit. the meditator and lotus are from a retired with wild abandon kit and a few other items (dragonfly, light effect) from various sources.
wishing you all a mindful year; love to all.
