Here is a small collage I made for the
Inspiration Avenue challenge of the week.. using a damask image in your artwork. It also fits the monthly
Artists in Blogland challenge of "Soul". I like using challenges in making art because it provides a focus or set of limitations that helps to come up with an idea. Okay, so I *think* that is a damask stencil, right? I hadn't heard of the term before but I was comparing the images provided to my stencils and I'm pretty sure that is a damask. The colored letters below are old scrapbooking letters that I hadn't used and the black letters are these fun old rub-ons I had. An penpal from several years ago sent me a HUGE package of ones she no longer wanted. They are super old and the packaging must be from the 70's, but they still work. Also check out
My Mojo Monthly.
A lot of people rave about Beth Moore.
This is a book I read by her. Have you read any books by her? If so, what did you think?

This is a beautiful page - the colors are so vibrant and work so well together. Love the saying too - "breathe" was my word for the year last year -- and I still need to work on that! Taking time to breathe instead of rushing around from one thing to the next! Happy New Year.
Blessings,

Beautiful color and layering. I'd love to hear more about how you created this, what types of materials you used.

Oh so beautiful- I love all the layers of texture and color you used- gorgeous work! And VERY soulful :)
I thought my comment was already accepted, but since I don't see it, I'll try again. I love all the layers of color and texture you used here, so very beautiful and VERY full of soul!
This is gorgeous Marcia. You really know how to use color! When I saw it, I thought Damask right away so in my opinion...you're 'right on' in more ways than one!
