More colours.....

At the start of the year, it was confirmed that the funding for a good percentage of my work will not be renewed after March. This means I have to do quite a bit of thinking and assessing. Do I re-train (again!) or get what some people would consider a "proper" job......
I LIKE working for myself, I want to do something creative....I have NO idea what I'm going to do that will provide me with a living. To help me with this process, I'm working in my art journal, hoping that some sub-conscious eureka light bulb moment will happen.
It's a scary time for me.
And on a lighter note, I'm going to share another of my colour journal page, this was one of my favourites to do as well as being one of the first. The colour was gold and white.
Gold is not a natural choice for me, I'm a silver girl, so this was a bit stretch therapy for me.
I loved the end result, using a couple of techniques I hadn't done before, which was the point of this circle journal. As gold and white are Angels and vanilla to me, I just had to add in a vanilla pod, so it smells lovely too. I am still pleased with this, several months on......




In real life, this has a lovely metallic golden sheen, and the word "Believe" stamped into the acrylic paint stands out a bit more....but I was pleased with how it cam out.
