Inspired by Rae Missigman

If you haven't visited her blog....watched her YOU TUBE channel 
go here... then come back and visit me ..
but seriously , when you just need some flow and colour and  fun in your art.
Rae is the perfect inspiration point .
This is how she inspired my work.








I created these pages with this Vicki Boutin Junk Journal .
I love the flexibility of removing and playing with the pages,
 I felt like I got to create in double time  ..

Thanks for dropping by.x

When one of your Muses asks you to join in on something creative and fun,
one has so many reasons to say yes ..
YES.. I'm down with the challenge ..
ok I'm being elusive , but I'm still in that disbelief stage of the process.

    Using up strips of geli plate left overs made with rad Ranger
     DWM Acrylic paint and added a little Gesso
    then a little stamping with a DWM Stamp and the addition of my woman mandala and the
    feather scraps from a geli plate print .
    And the layering begins
