New {Painting In Motion} video, Fierce
Hello !
I know it has been quite a long time since I shared with you an In Motion video (either Art Journaling or Mixed Media related). I have faced many technical difficultied in the last month or so, and several videos had to be aborted during the process. I meant they were just not meant to be.
I am a tidbit nervous to share this painting with you. Because it is like nothing else I've created before, but I still feel like this is me. I have no idea what this creature is. Nor why I used these specific symbols at the end.
I had a lot of fun playing with texture and love the result. Ready ? Here it is..:

You may know how much I love using stencils, and to date my favorites are made by the company The Crafter's Workshop, and I just swoon over those designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer (totally fangirling her, yea...). And I have the chance to have discovered a fantastic local scrapbook store that accept to special order stuff for me, the nonscrapbookerbutveryloyal customer
I think that I became more Fearless in my creativity thanks to Connie, and I will never thank enough for her class BIG that changed everything for me. Before, my creative process involved the search of perfection, intensive planning of what would the artwork will look like (and of course, this bad feeling when it never did look like what I had in mind). But since her class, I found how to free myself from all those high expectations I use to have. Not that I don't care, I still do, but I am enjoying the ride, involving all the ups and downs of creativity.
I feel like I was in a kind of transe while doing this painting, even if it was recording, because the creature that emerge stroke me only when the painting was done, the camcorder off. What IS that ?!?
And of course, an army of Gremlins decided to show off: «you are crazy» «this thing does not look like anything» «people will think you are not normal» blablablablaaaaaaaaaaa
I got scared to share this painting, and her video. But decided to shake the Fear off and do it anyway. So here it is:
I hope you enjoyed it
Currently in the making
I thought I would share a tidbits of what's been on my art table lately. I am not ready yet for the big reveals but... I really want to share some of it with you all.
Today, something weird happened. It's been a while since I last recorded and shared a video, after several attempts that ending being big failures (camera's battery dieing in the middle of the recording, me having to cut it off because of some duties implied by being a mom........), I decided today would be the day and nothing could actually stop me.
And I just abandonned myself in the painting... trusting something positive will come out of it. But honestly, I would never have thought of THIS. You'll understand when the video will be ready (tomorrow I hope). What ended on my canvas is either abstract or a Nixie, I don't know how to call it yet. But I simply LOVE it, which makes me feel a bit ill-at-ease for a reason I don't understand yet (oooh personal message to my dear friend Anu: it has a mouth !!)
Here is a sneak peak of it:

I recently shared on Inner Voices facebook page this tidbit of my latest Nixie, named Kowana:

Yes, Kowana is different from all the previous Nixies. And I fell in love with her.
This one has no name yet (this seems common this month...), see that gorgeous texture ? YUM !
