Congratulations, Inspiration Challenge! #800. Congratulations past and present Hostesses, I so appreciate your time and talents bringing us varying objects to be inspired by.
I fell deep down the rabbit hole with this weeks site, Julie! Design Stack: A Blog about Art, Design, and Architecture: Magic Realism in Surreal Paintings. And I only had to scroll down 13 paintings to find ' A Chalkboard Universe'. I am not able to capture the picture directly. If you click on my link, the painting is #13.
I've been wanting to work on a celestial background so this was quite a challenge. I knew I'd use my scooter skating woman with this fun sentiment:
Tired of trying to cram her SPARKLY, star-shaped SELF into society's beige square holes, she chose to EMBRACE her ridiculous awesomeness and shine like the FREAKING SUPERNOVA she was meant to be.
It's just my celestial highway had to be GOOD enough for her journey...the background is a combination of sponging TH DO's, sprinkling glittered sprays, and using the Colorful Life 'Atomic Starbursts' stencil and more glittered spray. Kinda of like the 'kitchen sink' approach. I also wanted to collage the sentiment.
My galaxy scooting woman is walking amongst the stars...not quite sure where she's headed, but I have no doubt she'll enjoy the journey!!! NO beige boxes...
Keep shinin'. Thanks for stopping by...
