Art Night
- Posted on September 26, 2016
Tonight I jump started my creativity. If you read my previous post, Memory Lane, you might remember that I gave up drawing back at the end of 6th grade. That traumatic experience may have killed off my illustrative tendencies but not my creativity all together. Once in a while, feeling creative, I like to channel my inner artist. Today I was inspired by a broken clock. I felt like the casing of the clock looked like a fancy frame so I took it home instead of tossing in the trash. I really hate to throw things away, especially when they look useful. And art is useful.
At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. Since it looked like a frame, I first thought of pictures, but I was not inspired looking through pictures. I also didn’t feel like a collage. I dug in my craft bag and came out with acrylic crafting paints. I also found some jiggly eyes. Now I have decided to leave the clock face. That’s all I am going to say for now but this is a fun, silly project in the works. I will post updated pictures as I progress.
Since this clock project is going to be done in stages and I was not artistically satisfied from these early stages, I needed another project. I dug out an unused piece of wood for a sign and began painting it with some fall colors. I am going to attempt to paint leaves and maybe write something cute. If I like the finished product, I may give it as a present, or I may just keep it for myself!
A night for me, my paints and some Simon and Garfunkel playing on the record player for inspiration! This Party For 1 is really kicking it!
