No Peeking While Picking Bits and Pieces Make an Interesting.....Experiment!

As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are making an unexpected design.  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  It's an interesting one!!

I pulled bits and pieces from different bags around my craft room and came up with these items.  Oh, my!  What an assortment I pulled, but I'll be a good sport and use them all without too much cheating!  

I pulled a Polkadoodles Christmas piece I had stamped a long time ago on watercolor paper.  So, I pulled watercolor pencils as my medium since it was uncolored.  This was lucky for me and I could color using my choice of colors to match some of the papers I had pulled.  I normally wouldn't use yellow on a Christmas piece.  

These were some interesting colors for me as well as unusual die cut pieces I pulled!  I was lucky with the snowflake and kraft, but not so lucky with the summer yellow cardstock and fabric piece!  Then there was the rust flower and blue huge flower...and that turquoise/purple ribbon!  Yikes!  

This was a fun experiment and I encourage you to give it a try!  

...oh, yes!  I guess I should tell you what it is.  This is a journal card for my journal card box!  This is where I put all my experiments, trial runs, or small sized art pieces!  My box video can be found below.

I gathered bits and pieces of my favorite ribbons, fabrics, colors, embellishments and put them all together.  I came up with a sort of mood board to hang in my room.  I can refer to this when I'm stuck or I can simply enjoy it!
