This Art Recipe Whispered to my Soul

 Hello All, You Amazing Creative People!

Have you seen Finnabair's Art Recipe for December? It's a beautiful mix of winter white and blue with a few muted tones to add a rich aged feel to it. I absolutely fell in love with this board, and I had to create something. Isn’t it stunning!!

So, following the recipe I went to work. I started with a MDF Cog shape for my base and started adding a mix of resin bits. Next, I added a mix of Mechanicals and natural elements to add to the wintery feel of this little cog. I hope you like it!

I wanted to stop in and share an art journal page that I created. It typically don't share my art journal pages because I use them as my therapy. I write all my crazy, sad or angry thoughts down and i create something around or over it. But this page wrote all my thoughts down in a piece of paper and just added it to my focal point. so I figured I could/would share this page, because I absolutely love they way it turned out. 

The inspiration for this page came from Finnabair's Art Daily Cafe July Mood Board. The Beautiful Cobalt blue reminded me so much of my dad that I couldn't stop thinking about him or the mood board so I sat down and created this page.
