The word up at One Little Word is "Lost."
I haven't been able to participate in OLW the last two months because I've been packing up my studio and house and preparing to move at the end of this month. Truth be told, this whole experience has me feeling a little LOST. Like my rudbeckia flowers, I get out of sorts when I'm transplanted. I'm hardy and will eventually take root and blossom, but for now I'm in a constant state of shock!
When I'm completely overwhelmed, my husband is my refuge. I can curl up in his arms, and he makes me feel like all will be well in the end.
As long as I have his love, I am never lost.
What does the word "lost" mean for you? Do you have a favorite quote that uses this word? Hope you'll link up at One Little Word and share anything you create inspired by "lost."
This art journal page started out with side by side pages of sprayed Dylusions ink in my 8 x 8 journal.
On a separate paper, I drew and painted a face. Creating it on a separate piece of paper allowed me to tilt and position it to exactly how I wanted it.
I angled it to my liking and adhered it to the page. Inspired by Frida Kahlo's chimerical self portraits (human face, animal body),
I used the Three Owls and a Branch stencil to create the body/dress for my girl, and the base of the Ganesh Stencil to create her wings. I added texture and interest around her with parts of the Namaste stencil.
As a finishing touch, I added white to the insides of some of the letters in the sentiment I wrote, which just made it pop the right amount.
I hope to see you over at One Little Word! Linking also to Art Journal Journey, where Frida Kahlo is the prompt this month, and Mix it Monthly, where parrot colors and crazy dresses are this month's inspiration.
Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.

Freddie and I sit on the porch of our new home right after the closing! |
