Scribble Picnic - Stars

Here are my 'stars' around a campfire for Michael's Scribble Picnic. They are done on textured purple cardstock in acrylic (6" x 6").

Creative Tuesdays - Stars

Michael's Stores (the Arts and Crafts retailer) is running an art challenge with fabulous prizes, if you live in the US or Canada.

Welcome to Michael's Creative Tuesdays.  The current theme is 'Stars'.  My mixed media piece represents the hopes and dreams we all have, spilling from the hand.  May they all come true for each of us!  Don't forget to add hard work, strength and determination to the mix and above all, believe!

Daughter L helped me glue gun the little (gold and silver) stars over my journal page (8 1/2" x 11").  The hand is done in watercolour pencil, outlined with a waterproof marker.  I ended up showing a couple of photos as they look better than the scanned version.

Fall Chrysanthemums

It was such a clear night last night, I could see so many stars even though I am in a populated area.  It made me think, we are sure not alone in the universe!  I also thought, 'why wasn't it like this the night of the lunar eclipse/blood moon?'

You will see a lot of chrysanthemums planted around here at this time of year:
