Field of Dreams

After I finished my 'Fly' project, I was feeling a little lost. I knew I wanted to keep my creative juices flowing, but I didn’t have any ideas in mind for another project.

As it turned out, when I purchased the canvas for Fly, I had also purchased a large jar of Gesso. When I got home I discovered that the canvas was already covered in Gesso and then I found my old jar of the stuff. Since I had been feeling like I wasted money, an inspirational spark fired and I thought I should get busy covering things with all this Gesso. I found my stash of old children’s board books and some cool chipboard pieces that I purchased several years ago and I covered them.

Maybe it was the meditative like state I was in while covering these items or my own version of Field of Dreams, but I began to develop some ideas on how I wanted to alter them. I went through my stamps and several themes began jumping out at me with their possibilities.

I am thrilled that all it took to find inspiration was to start covering stuff and the ideas came through the corn field. There is a moral in this for sure. Hmm??


Check back for how these pieces turn out and for other possible revelations that might walk out of the corn field.

Cheers!!
