Create Something Wild & Wonderful & Amazing

I did a little art therapy today - collage, sketching and 'painting'.

I started collaging the box I bought for Life book 2012 with some left over scraps of scrapbooking paper.  I found some with great words on them.

Inspire.  Create something wild & wonderful & amazing.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then seem improbable and then, when we summon the will, they soon seem inevitable. - Christopher Reeve



I've also started the Fabulous Faces with the profile faces instead of facing portrait in week 1.  They look a lot like Tam's so I'll have to practice a little more and stylise her a bit more.


My BF and art buddy, Sandra, gave me a canvas as I haven't been able to get any and I put the first layer onto it today....


Any ideas of what I should do with this canvas???  Oh you're not thinking what I'm thinking are you?  A face???   Noooo...this canvas is big 30" x 30" or 76cm x 76cm.... we'll see....  ;)

    Can't wait to see what you do with the big canvas :)
    Flora Bowley - was she at Nanga only to do a workshop or does she live there? Where did you find out about her workshops, please?
