Permission to play

 
I joined Carolyn Dube's free online workshop - permission to  play. It is a super workshop and you should watch her videos if you  haven't done  yet. She is a fabulous teacher - the best is that she always encourages you to just play and feel free - something we all should do as often as possible! I didn't  use corrugated cardboard for my panels ,that's the stuff Carolyn uses - just free stuff - how cool - but the whole concept of playing and making a book in the end speaks to me - I made different panels out of recycled cardboard ( mainly  cereal boxes ) - and will bind them in the end into a book like Carolyn shows in her videos. This is one of the panels - I did a lot of collage work in the background and continued with negative space painting - and I drew a very quick face as well ( with Stabilo Mark It All)... pure fun and playing - just great to do such relaxing things.


 I am admittedly not so enthusiastic about  my happy pear panel - but it was an awesome little relaxation exercise to get looser and allow myself just to play. 
meant for AJJ /COLLAGE and (23) /99 faces.

  8. wenn das ein "sehr schnelles" stück ist, zeigt das umso mehr, wie sehr du die portraitzeichnungen mittlerweile verinnerlicht hast. wenn man so ein Rüstzeug hat, kann man natürlich gut spielen... und dass dir das spaß macht, sieht man. und das macht dann uns besuchern wiederum spaß! immer ein vergnügen, hier vorbeizukommen!

    Glad you gave yourself permission to make a happy pear face, not often that we are allowed to do that, haha!
