SHAKE IT UP: 40 ways to say I love you
El Corazon
Well I focused my attention and intentions on Love this week and came up with this collage piece and I have to say I fell in love with. I broke out of my habitual way of working this time, and shaking it up brought some great results. Usually I plan out my collages, laying out the images and carefully placing each piece. This time I decided I needed to loosen up and what better theme to do that on than love. The Mexican Lotteria card for heart, el Corazon, inspired me. I used multiple images of the el Corazon card and started gluing and laying down images with abandon. Many layers later along with some paint, rubber stamping, encaustic medium and even a shrinkie dink (my angel at the bottom). I came up with my thoughts on love. Love in all it’s chaotic, joyious, tumultuous, playful, extraordinary wonder. And I offer it up to you my faithful readers, so shake it up a bit, get out there and say “I love you”, and if that’s not enough here’s 40 ways to say it, have a love filled week. Happy early Valentines Day!
