ART Blast


Here's one of the Art Blast cards I put together for the Art Blast Swap through ARTchix. I was having a difficult time getting inspired to do the Swap...I just couldn't imagine coming up with something different. BUT, as the deadline draws closer...I knew that I had to come up with something.
I have learned so much since I started in January. I look back at my first creations and see a lot of growth. Part of the problem for me is that I like immediate gratification....so I don't dwell on my art after I've started creating it. Sometimes I look back and think...I should have....BUT, I do spend a lot of time BEFORE I start a piece looking and looking at it....moving things around, change this, changing that. Usually if I need to create 6 of something I can get the first 4 with no problem and the last two are not my favorites...loss of inspiration maybe...or sometimes it's that I've used up my favorite pieces on the required collage sheet.
Wow! This has gotten wordy....I think I will stop at this and tell you that I plan to do 6 more. That's my plan anyway...wish me luck!!
