TRUE FREE SPIRIT: October Patchwork


The day I watched Mindy Lacefield's October prompt was the same day my cousin Sarah Gitt posted this amazing image on Pinterest.  (a rice field in India)  A coincidence? I think not.

So I took the image and created a background with similar color patterns (another option would have been to paint over the photo, but I wanted to add in some marks in the paint (scratchies, lines, patterns of fall).

This creation is also going into my Fabric Autumn Journal


Since the Fall theme for me is woodland creatures, I opted to go with a raccon and a tree as my main characters.  Now what to do next.....add glitter fingernail polish to them, of course!!

I felt like the image needed something more...so I added an image transfer I found via Pinterest. It states "Stay True."

I still felt it needed more, but I walked away from the creations for several days. 
And when I came back to it...I like it just the way it is.
Simple and sweet....with a touch of bling.
