making a day of it...

Today was mostly a day for art.  (Knitting is an art, right?) 

After my walk, I worked on painting the clay pieces.

Then I started working on a new mixed media piece.  I started with some torn scrapbook paper.

 

 Then used a makeup sponge to rub on some color using spray inks.

 I went over that with a light layer of gesso, then a couple more colors of spray inks.

As I've no idea what I'm doing, I then painted over it all with burnt umber and orange acrylic paints.  I added another light layer of a pale yellow and then walked away.  I have no idea where this is going, but then again, I rarely do.  :-)

I've spent the rest of the time knitting on my shrug.  I've about 10 inches left to knit and then can block and seam.   I'll have to research how to do both those things.  I already know what my next knitting project will be and have been fighting myself to not start it before I finish knitting the shrug.

 

Well, that was my day.  How was yours?  Any crafty projects going on?

thanks for stopping by!
love & blessings
