Happy Monday!

As always it didn't end up the way I planned, but I do really like it. There are no "beetlejuice" roses like I mentioned because I decided they needed to be red instead.
For an example of what I mean.. you can see here on my instagram. :)


So here's what I came up with. I don't love it, but I do like it. I'll play with the idea some more another day.
I do love the colors, but I'd planned on it being more intricate. I'm not sure though, I like the playfulness of it.

For tomorrow I'm going to be working on The Diva's challenge, which reminds me to slow down and enjoy the process while revisiting my favorites.

So that'll be interesting. If you don't participate in her challenges, you really should. Check them out here. 

Today's art prompt.
Use your favorite color. I used turquoise which is my current go to color in the sugar skull and that's my favorite part.

Here's the linkey thing. Can you believe it's been 23 days?! Are you proud of yourself?

A little different- guess that means it's Sunday!

This project is a little different than most of what I post, but I'm going to have so much fun with it. It's not any bigger than most of my tiles, but I think it's going to be in full color. I just started it so there isn't much to it, but I wanted to get today's post up for you and I have a feeling this is going to be one of those projects that just grows.
Sundays seem to be my day for tackling something new.

It's a sugar skull. I love them, I'm fascinated by them actually both the images themselves and everything behind them.
When it's done I might have it made into a phone case or a tshirt or something. I have so many ideas in my head for this one! Beetlejuice roses maybe. (My kids will be the only ones that understand that reference until I post it!)

Anyway, so today's art prompt is to find an image or symbol that calls out to you. Whatever it is and make it into something. I've been wanting to do something with a sugar skull forever but never knew what i wanted to do until I talked with a friend about it yesterday.
Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone!
