Gypsy Soul

Did you hear that gypsy Shimmerz Siren?

Yep, that was me, Joyce. 

I’m going to show you how to apply some gypsy/bohemian

style to your art today using Shimmerz Paints. 

I have been enthralled by Gypsy genre and bohemian art styles lately, 

 so I thought I’d take those  feelings and put them on paper.

 I adored the movement in the girls dance!

And, I thought I could create such movement with some Shimmer Paint products.

And what’s a gypsy girl without her baubles and chains? 

Visit Shimmerz Paints Blog and find out some of the details that created the movement in this 9 x 12 watercolor layout.

Exquisite Gown Series (one of many I hope) inspired by Scrap Around the World Challenge

You know when you have that one photo that you have used before on a creation but didn't quite like the end result? This is that photo for me.  So, here's my chance to make it right...well, maybe. ;) Isn't that dress lovely? I adore this color combination of blue, blue gray, and white featured in this months inspiration board at Scrap Around the World. My take on the board focuses on the photo of those little tiny blue gray houses sitting on what looks to be a gray textured and pattern quilt. The warm glow emanating from the windows add a touch of warmth to this chilly cool palette.

My creation was created on a 9 x 12 paper from a mixed media Canson tablet.

I don't normally create with a photo that is not family related, but when I saw this palette, I had to work with that photo. The luxurious and exquisite fabric so rich and ornate prompted me to think about creating a collection of similar photos with these types of gowns. I haven't felt this inspired to create in ages (thank you Tiphanie from Scrap Around The World for igniting my creative muse again.) I started another Exquisite Gown page just after finishing this one.

I am entering this page in the Scrap Around the World challenge.
