Welcome on a new edition of my weekly ritual, Gratitude Friday (if you are not familiar with it, please go read how it came up and what it is about).
Hey guys ! How are you doing ? This weekend is a holiday for us here in Canada as we celebrate Thanksgiving. We don’t have any plan and eating some turkey does not really make me happy (so we just… won’t). However, I will spare you the very very long list that would happen if I was to share with you what I have been thankful for the most since last Thanksgiving (I can hear your “hooraaaaays” all the way from where you are ! ahah).
This week, I am thankful for:

If you are in Canada, how are you celebrating Thanksgiving ? Not being North American by birth etc, it is not something we celebrate in France or that has the real meaning it should.
Hello Beautifuls !
This week, for my video project for ColourArte, I wanted to play around the symbolism of the peacock feather. I used a chipboard piece from Gina Designs as my main element and played with texture and colour on a canvas board to pair it with.
You will be amazed how quick and easy it can be to create some texture on your surface with the right tools. Nothing fancy: extra heavy gesso applied with a good fluffy brush, then a grungy stencil and molding paste (you could even use gesso again !). The Radiant Rain sprays showcase it so beautifully and are SO vibrant, with the perfect amount of shimmer added to it.
For the peacock feather itself, I wanted to see how black gesso would make the pigments and mica of the Primary Elements pop even more. No disappointment there: the result is just breathtaking (to me anyway). And it was such an easy process, too: I used the Embossing dabber, from Rangers, as a sort of glue for the pigment to stick to. Ah.mah.ziiing !

TGIF !
This week, my husband and I had long talks about the future of our family. Of our careers. What we want it to look like, to feel like. What we are ready to sacrifice to get there. Opening our eyes to the possibilities and yes, sometimes to the lack of opportunities. So we will see how it goes.
This week, I am thankful for:
Have you shared a bit of what makes you so happy right now ? What makes you feel, deep in your bones, this big «thank you» that you whisper to the Universe ?
