Art for me is like Breathing



Do you remember this Gelli plate background?

Well, I finally did a collage on it.    
The quote is so real in my life: "Art for me is like breathing".  I do not know the source of this very meaningful line but for me everyday I need some kind of art, be it playing with paint, sketching, crafting with kids something or the other. Each day I feel so content when I'm able to spend some amount of time in creative play.

 
This is another yummy background that I created this week. Lot of texture and paint. The page once completed reminded me of a textured wall that existed a long, long time ago.



A close-up of both the sides:


Have a wonderful weekend everyone

    How fun to have a new background to play on, maybe a spring page??

    I love that you create a little each day even with the little ones around. That is inspiring and GREAT!!

  11. Susan, I like how you finished up the gelli plate pages. Very nice. However, I REALLY like those textured pages with all the wonderful colors. And incidentally, I think your quote is so true. I try to do something arty, however small, each day. I can hold my breath only so long. LOL!

  13. Gorgeous layers and textures you achieved , all very beautiful!
    Luv your quote.
    For me, creating art, studying it ,observing our natural world and keeping some of nature's souvenirs keeps me grounded and clarifies what's real and most important on this earthly planet. Walks are perfect journeys for discovering those souvenirs.
    I actually found more of my spiral crystal fossil rocks the other day while on my walk with Grace in the maple orchard - a new place I wasn't aware of.

  15. I really like the two spreads that you created. I love that red bird on the yellow and green background. And your textured pages are really interesting, too. I just did some very textured pages, too, and I was curious as to what you are going to put over them. Mine are so textured, that I am not sure what to do over top. Great job on both.
