Today we are beginning a new challenge for this year. We use a specific color palette and we use up our collage paper with a word for inspiration.
Why do I do this? It’s because it pushes me out of my comfort zone. And every time I’m uncomfortable with what I’m creating, means I’m learning something new. And that’s when new and interesting things are created.
The other reason I do this is because I have a copious amount of collage paper. So I don’t allow myself to make or print new collage paper. I have to use what I have. And anytime I start going through my papers… ideas start to brew.
Curiosity is so important to creating interesting work that makes us happy!
I will have the 12 color palettes we’ll be using along with the inspiration word for each month in the free subscriber library… and you can join me on this year-long journey if you’d like.
I hope you do. Let’s play together and find some beautiful new beginnings!
I’ll share all the details in the video. And always know that you are loved!
