Believe In Forever . . .

I have been feeling less than inspired these days, not creating much. Today as I was flipping through my sketchbook I found a page that I used to play around with stencils and black fabric spray. And just like that I was inspired.

I added some pink watercolor over the top, stamped the words that came to mind and then added details with a black sharpie pen, finishing the edges with a black gelato. I never expected something so simple would inspire me so much . . .

    Cathy, this page is wonderful and I love the color palette, the white shapes remind me of lace.
    Happy weekend!

    I've been over-dosing on vampire TV lately so this seems quite appropriate - all that immortality.

    Inspiration Sometimes Floats To Us Out Of Nowhere. And How Pretty This Piece Ended Up. Thank You So Very Much Sweet Cathy For Leaving Such Comforting And Compassionate Words At My Place Earlier. So Similar To Inspiration ~ Grief Catches Us By Surprise Sometimes. I'm Learning So Much On My Journey Towards Healing. There's Such Brilliance In All The Madness. Sending You A Hug Of True Friendship & Georgian Sunshine, Terri

    This is what I do when this happens to me--look at work that I've done when I was just basically fooling around--sometime some of the things I find surprise me. This really helps when you are feeling like this--fight back!
    I'm hoping this year is a better one for you--you've had your share of not so good times--now it's time for the good ones.
