The Birds Were Without Words!

Well...I think that I have finished my first real "Taking Flight" project. I am going to let it marinate for a while and take another look at it later. Maybe I will add some more hair. I am LOVING my new book, "Taking Flight" by Kelly Rae Roberts! Thank you Sherry from Got Art!

I have consulted my brother, Kurt, who does professional framing about the appropriate backing and hanging mechanism...he's going to hook me up! My project is almost ready to go!

I also consulted Kurt about suggested pricing for my original piece of art...what can I say, he loves me. I promise, this piece will not be priced anywhere near his lofty aspirations...he loves me.

You may recall in an earlier post I was concerned because I had somehow torn a small piece of paper from the piece. Now I could have stopped and thrown the project away (who am I kidding multi-media artists don't throw anything away), but instead I decided to "be creative". As a result, that little torn piece of paper became a bird (molding paste) and inspiration for the name of the piece, "the birds were without words". Here's is a closer look...well an attempt at a closer look. I promise to work on my camera skills!



Remember to...

Be Creative Every Day!

I think you did a wonderful job with this painting, so what if a piece of paper fell off, you made it work!
I keep seeing beautiful art from people working with Kelly Rae's book, I need to open my copy one day :-)

I absolutely adore this piece! I have my first two attempts posted on my blog as well!
Isn't it cool to struggle throught "mistakes" and then be happy with the result!
Hugs,
