Copper and Canvas in My Creative Space

“Scarred”

I have been feeling so much more creative now that I have a little bit more time to focus on my artistic pursuits. I took a little of my own advice, I have been pushing myself outside my comfort zone and experimenting with collage. This is so different to anything I have crated before and I really like it. What do you think? Should I add it to my Etsy shop?

Be sure to pop over to Kirsty’s to check out what’s going on in other creative spaces all over the world.

ps I think the dryer balls from my creative space last week have really cut down on my drying time!

  6. Put it in your shop. I believe when you make things that are so different from what you normally do, that you are usually making them for someone else.

  11. I'm visiting creative spaces via kootoyoo and your piece is definitely dramatic and emotional to me...I think it's great you are experimenting and going out of your comfort zone. It helps you to learn and grow always!

  12. Pushing yourself out of your own comfort zone isn't always easy, so cograts on that. I've been trying to do the same thing myself lately. Thanks for the inspiring words.
