Linda sent this wonderful link to Alisa Burke's blog last week,
a free tutorial on 'finding your muse'
Alisa writes about discovering what inspires you in your own environment
and using it in your creativity.
I struggled a bit with this as a lot of the things that inspire me aren't close by,
but I figured I could start by looking for the colours I love
and I found them without too much trouble,
lots of them in fact, not far down the road, I really must learn to walk with my eyes 'open'!
I decided to use these colours on my pages
for this month's challenge over at 'The Kathryn Wheel'
I'm more than a little late and March is looking a bit plain,
but at least I have something on my paper!
I covered my pages in old text, painted and sloshed,
something I don't seem to have done for ages.
I also added a layer of Neocolour waterbased crayons
and a spray of 'stream' Adrionack wash which I promptly wiped off as it was very intense,
I'd like to say a WIP but it's debateable whether I'll actually add anymore to it or not!

What a brilliant way to find your muse - those are super colours and they are great for your March calendar pages. I'm lovin' the paper peeling back, I like things with 'real' distressing (if you know what I mean).

I like the peeling paper, as well! You are so good at following through with things... I often read and forget! You are on the right road with your muse!!!
shes a wonderful talent is Alisa!
love your page the colors have inspired you and i think by the time you journal all ove rit it wont need much more, specially if you do some your new found journalling skills :)
So cool that you've been inspired immediately :-)
I think your calendar for March is incredible. You do such a much better job of creating your pages than I. I really appreciate your muse and am SO glad you are finding her.
I saw this but didn't delve into it. Looks like I should go back and take another look.
Your color choices are wonderful Margaret and your calender is fab too!
