I was going to take a little blogging break… but I had so much fun creating art yesterday that I had to share it with you!! 🙂
I started making pink clouds for Carla Sonheim’s new year-long class that I told you about here.
It was snowing yesterday which inspired me to create this haiku for my hand-stenciled pink clouds:
And then one idea snowballed into another… hehe…
The above one was created with a variety of mixed mediums such as fluid acrylics and watercolors. I then started layering patterns with my small 3 x 5 inch Gelli-Plate, using it like a stamp.
I couldn’t stop with just one! So I created another sheet and added a few other colors with my handmade stamps:
I was getting tired but didn’t want to waste paint on my brayer.. so it led me to create this piece:
And then try a collage using paper I made for my clouds:
It says, “In a pink cloud world – everyone has rosy pink cheeks – And no one gets sick with disease like cancer or dementia.”
I know it is wishful thinking but we can all dream BIG in a Pink Cloud World!
Happy New Year!! Cheers! 🙂
I really love your Pink Cloud World, Jill! It is so fun, bright and vibrant! I also like the ideas that nobody ever gets sick. Your creative energy shines through so brightly! Loving all those textures and colours.

They are adorable, Jill. I’m thinking of getting a stamping set. Did you get yours in a set or separately?

Thanks Catherine! 😀 I made the stamps myself with foam. I shared it in a previous post. Is this what you are asking? ❤🎨

Oh yes. I mean the rubber ones where you need metal tools.

I make these with scissors and the soft foam rubber that has a sticky backing on it. You can find my post here: https://artjillkuhn.wordpress.com/2016/12/05/handmade-foam-stamps

Happy New Year Jill! I loved today’s blog. Well I always love them. I see your creativity growing every year. What I love best is that you bring such happiness and good cheer and humor into your art and it makes my days begin with smiles and giggles. Think I’ll give Carla another try. I was a bit overwhelmed last time. Maybe I can relax more now and just be me(who is that?). Love and hugs
