Back into it...finally!

After last weeks enforced rest, 

I'm finally feeling better!

During that time I've been doing lots 

of thinking and reading

and trying to work out how to 

execute the ideas forming

 in my head as a result.

 From this photo I took several copies of my silhouette

 Traced the shaped onto foam

and adhere it to cardboard

and stamped the shape using acrylic paint

Of course nothing quite goes to plan

and I got paint all over the paint

so I'm going to cut around this 

and use it like a collage piece.

These are my cats eyes

 I enlarged it, pixel it and the drew it 

onto an A4 sheet of black paper

I had great plans in my head of using pastels 

but ended up, again disappointed with the mess 

the dust left on the black paper.

 So I thought I'd go back to trying paints

and hope I would make a mess of it

I realise that I'm not being very fair to myself

but can't seem to help it today...

so I'll just go with how it is and hope that 

some where, some way, some how

I'll actually be less fearful

 and more tolerant of my work.
