Mixed media is new for all of the ladies who are participating, although I can tell you some of them are accomplished crafters and indeed artists. They are enthusiastic and have been busy encouraging each other along their creative paths on this project. I can not wait to see what they do. The requirements are to create a mixed media canvas of no larger than 12" x 12". Incorporate nine inchies, either in a mosaic form or each inchie can be a canvas all it's own, or a combination of the two. There should be lots of texture and media used and one suggestion was to find out what your partner likes and try to fulfill her wishes or taste. I had completed mine for my partner only to find out I was entirely on the wrong track for her current preferences so started a new one for her. Lucky me I get to keep the one I had originally created for her, darn! I LOVE her.
I've been so inspired by Donna Downey, Kelly Lish, Mindy Lacefield, Kolleen Harrison, Pam Carriker, and Christy Tomlinson and other mixed media artists who pushed me over the edge where I teetered all the way back to my college days of dabbling in mixed media and frankly now I just get owly when I find myself committed to anything that takes me away from my "work". I am so lucky to live where I do in Northern Alberta Canada. To have a situation which allows me to just create, for the most part.
