So Much Inspiration!

Another week, another workshop! Last summer I saw this class listed at a local art store and had to have it. But, "Oh no!" I had something on the calendar already. Bummer. But on further inspection I found she was teaching the class again in December so I called immediately and got myself on the class list. So Saturday I enjoyed an absolutely delightful 4 hours taking a "Tape & Spray" workshop with Zoya Scholis. The process involves tape and masks and spray bottles of watercolor and you wind up with an abstract piece that may or may not be what you had in mind at the beginning of the process.

First the taping

Here it is midway through the process
This was as far as I got in class

And a second piece not yet completed
So much fun! And after the class we drove up into the Sierras to Nevada City to visit my Sister-in-Law. We spent a lot of time looking at galleries and now my head is bursting with ideas. So little time, so much art!

The Diva Challenge

This is a Use-My-Tangle challenge, the tangle being Moowa by Anya Ipsen.

Tangles Used: Moowa and  Basketweave
It took me a while to get a result I was happy with using this tangle but I do like it and look forward to trying it again.

    Your Moowa is great! It has so much movement going to all sides. And the bottom tangle looks like you still had the masking tape class in your mind - nice combination! Thanks for taking the challenge :)
