Yesterday class opened for Kelly Rae Roberts Hello Soul Mantras, a painting e-course. I'm currently working through the first lesson which doesn't involve any painting yet, I'm currently working with some journal prompts which will help me to choose my Soul Mantra.
I have Kelly Rae Roberts book entitled Taking Flight and I dipped into that today to help me with this mixed media piece.

I have decided to use this a Mothers Day gift and I collaged an old photograph of my Mum with me as a baby. It's not quite finished, just a few things to add and then it will be complete.
Love your sweet fairy, what a great idea to collage a photo of you and your mum onto the painting! The course seems to be giving you loads of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty fairy and a great gift for your mum.
