July olw

Welcome to July's One Little Word. If you are following the hop you have just come from Jill's blog. She is amazing. If you started here, and want to travel from the beginning, Margie's blog is where you want to be.

OLW has been one of the best committments I have made with my time this year.
Ali's prompts for olw have been of great benefit to me as I have remained focused, balanced, and all the while looking forward to what my word will do to move me to the person I am to continue to become.


PRAY.
That is my word. Not a noun. Rather a verb. Something to do.

Artistic process and time to play was the theme for July. Individual canvases to pursue our word in a visual manner. Opportunity to utilize paint, gesso, stamps, ink, and all manner of medium and to watch where it takes us.

break down the process::
some of the canvases were inspired from ali's work.
others happened as i played.
all foundation is bazzill textured cardstock
the concept for me was to layer medium on top of medium.
