Hello Friends!
A Twinchie It's a small piece of art worked on a two inch square substrate. The substrate can be anything you like. It can be watercolour card. Yupo paper. Wood. Fabric. You could even use a cut up cornflakes packet if you want. as long as your size is two inches square.
I decided. on two things for this challenge. Firstly to use as much of my Kuratake paints to get the feel for them and to experiment with them a little. secondly, not to invest oodles of time in this. project. So setting a time limit of no more than about 20 minutes per card. One of the days did take a little bit longer than 20 minutes. But I'm glad I allowed myself that because I'm very pleased with the outcome.
The prompt for day 5 was SPILL.
I did three interpretations over two cards. One was a literal spill of liquid. The other one is a small seascape with light spilling from the lighthouse and the ocean spilling on the shore.
Day 6 was KNOT I did a bow of ribbon and two stylised Celtic knots
Day 7 prompt was TOUCHING so I created pattern by touching the painted surfaces with a damp fingertip. Three twinchies, and also playing with a collage editing element.
Day 8 prompt was BOX so I did a tongue~in~cheek interpretation. Five of them!
Day 9 was FERN
Since I have discovered how to create a photo montage I don't have to post individual photos!
Day 10 RIVER. This was a challenge. I've seen so many multiple images put together to make a bigger image I just had to give it a go. It was another challenge getting the composite in the correct order!
Day 11 POEM
A tricksy one today. I will likely return with something else, but wrote this quote on the back of a preprepared tile.
and finally ~~~
Day 12 MOON
That wraps up this challenge. There are always a lot of challenges happening this time of year, but I'm taking a short break from challenges now. The next one I will be picking up is not a challenge, but an online retreats. It's time once more for the Artist's Soul Gathering, hosted by Ida Andersen Lang, where we will be honouring the divine feminine in over a dozen works of art taught by twelve different creative spirits.
Heartfelt thanks for your support and your kind words and encouragement over these past few weeks. I do hope you will come and have a look at what I'll be doing in the ASG. I won't be doing them all, as these are larger pieces of work, quite labour intensive, and therefore time consuming. as I do not sell my art, I'm afraid I cannot devote all day, every day, to it much as I would dearly love to.
Stay well Stay safe.
