Art Every Day Month • Day One

I am participating in Art Everyday Month.

I have joined a group of creative people committing themselves to

more creativity for the month of November.

This afternoon I started out with some printmaking for Day One using a carved block.

I drew my design directly on to the rubber carving block and started to cut.

I did change my design a bit as I went along. I used my craft paper to test the block print design.

Stop by Leah's website, Creative Every Day and check out fellow artist and their creations for Art Every Day Month.

Thank you for stopping by.

A Peek into process...........A Word Path Session

Starting my Word Path for tomorrow. Here is a peek at one style of my work sessions. Here I play with the painted words on craft paper. I sometimes have words from tear sheets or my son's magnet set as a starting point.
Today they are, happy, wonder and love.
One word leads to another, I sketch with words, I loop and slide with the paint across the paper to create original word art. I try to fill the entire space.
Just love the flow when doing script with a sumi brush.

So I have played with a few words and some decisions have been made. I have chosen the words that feel right together and I know I want to use white gouache. So I will go now and work on my final piece. I will post my Word Path tomorrow, Friday as usual. See you then, can't wait to share!

Thank you for stopping by.
