FIERY STAR - KALEIDOSCOPE

YES - back to color.....this one is called Fiery Star...I love love the colors in it...
It looks like the star in the center is just exploding (at least that is my version).
There is no rhyme or reason to my creations...just letting the creative flow take
over and play play play in PSP.
Still fighting the darn headache....maybe that is why I like this one - because I think
my head is exploding too....LOL
Actually I just might get this one printed out on glossy photo paper...
I like how it makes me feel!!!
I think this one so far has invoked the most emotion from me..
the colors make me feel alive and excited...exploding with energy..hmmm!
I think I will enter this one for Studio Friday - the topic is EMOTION!

So what is everyone else creating?
Are your creative juices flowing?
What do you do to keep them flowing?
(just asking~I'm nosy!)
Thanks for stopping by and Looking!!!

7 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MY ART STUDIO

I am running a bit behind in my Studio Friday entry...I really had to think about
random facts about my workspace/art studio that I am aware of ...
The topic is 7 random facts about my art studio space:

1- must have my LARGE cup of mountain dew next to me (sorry no pic)
2-must have my music with me (my zen mp3 player)(sorry about the blurry pic - best I could do)
3- have to be surrounded by my most used supplies:

(love my color pencils and markers - love color)
(gesso, gel medium, mod podge, glossy finish...love it all)

(love my ink pads)

(and a few other basics to my right)

4- Love creating with my daughter across from me...we chat once in a while...ask each
other's opinion about what we have been doing and how we feel about it...and so on
5-I can only sit and create for short periods of time before my legs and hips go numb..so
I create during a time of day when my body is feeling really good.
6-I cannot create if I am HOT...the temps have to be cool or cold...just makes me feel
more comfortable..(strange but true)
7-Love having my dogs around my feet..and chair while I create...they are great company
and once in a while - they lick my legs to remind me they are there...like a kiss!!!

Well - that is my answer to this past week's creative prompt from Studio Friday...

MULTIPLYING BITS COLLAGE

Now this ATC card was fun. I just kept playing with filters and adding bits and pieces to it
and this is the result. I actually was able to create my own lil bits of paper (and multiplying images I made up - geez I wish I could remember how I did it) and make
the whole thing look like a collage.
The reason I do not remember how I did it is because when I get into the creative mode sort
of thinking working digitally - I tend to just keep playing without over thinking on it...just trying to keep playing without any rhythm or reason to it...I find things come out better that way.
I like the blues in it. To me it is soft, mellow...soothing colors...nothing harsh.
This one actually made me feel good too.
During one of my blog hopping activities I came across this site called STUDIO FRIDAY.
Every monday a word is given as a challenge..I was interested because I know
I need a bit of inspiration coming at me in different directions to stretch myself and my
thinking... (Tine - who owns the web site is SUPER nice) so check it out for yourself..

Well Thanks for dropping by and giving my site a look...
The ATC card is my entry for Day 21 of AEDM..
(remember 21 days straight of doing anything becomes a habit...hmmm I so hope so - this is another mile marker I have reached - doing a happy dance here).
