Just do it! (DT Our Creative Corner)

Bonjour et Bonne Année à tous!
Hello and Happy New Year to all!
C'est un nouveau mois donc un nouveau challenge à Our Creative Corner, et c'est Claudia qui nous le présente:
It's a new month so a new challenge at Our Creative Corner and it's Claudia's:

Make Time

"Why not promise something good to yourself for the new year's start?

To make more quality time for yourself for example and spend it doing what you love? Creative (or recreational) time always is quality time if you listen to your inner voice and follow your own speed instead of listening to the clock ticking and reminding you of deadlines or other duties. And work will be done so much more easily (and faster) after some recreational me-time as it will have fuelled up your energy! I promise! 
So why not escape the endless circling and rushing and get yourself in the right mood for some me-time? The mood board I have in store for you could be a good start.


I challenge you to calm down, enjoy what you see and let yourself be inspired by it. No precise theme to narrow your creativity down - just the colours, shapes, directions, textures and hints of possible themes.
Whatever you make of it - it will be good! Whatever it sparks in you - I want you to show it and have a good time at your studio desks!"

Je suis d'accord avec Claudia: nous avons assez d'objectifs, d'échéances, de listes à remplir, de cases à cocher toutes l'année... 
Alors ma résolution de l'année sera que mes créations ne suivent pas le même chemin! Pour commencer, je me suis plongée dans mon art-journal et simplement couvert la page blanche avec l'idée du moment (c'est à dire de la seconde en cours!). J'avais juste en tête la citation d'Andy Warhol: 
I agree with Claudia: we have enough goals, deadlines, lists to fill, boxes to check all along the year...So my resolution of this year will be that my creations won't go the same way! To start, I dived into my art-journal and simply spread on the white page with the idea of the moment (the current second in fact!). I had just in mind this quote from Andy Warhol:

"Ne vous préoccupez pas de faire de l'art, faites-le"
"Don't think about art, just get it done",
et j'ai choisi les couleurs en fonction du moodboard de Claudia. Et voilà:
and I chose colours from Claudia's moodboard.

 J'avais envie de textures,
I wanted textures,




de couleurs, 
et surtout, de rien de trop figuratif...
colours, and most of all, nothing too figurative... 

... juste des mots...
... only words...

 ... et un petit cœur sur le fil torsadé qui traverse toute la page... parce que l'essentiel est là n'est-ce-pas?
... and a little heart on the wire which passes through all the page... because the essential is here, isn't it?



Sur ma page j'ai étalé du gesso en couche épaisse et au hasard.
On my page I randomly spread a thick coat of gesso.
 Puis j'ai ajouté du bicarbonate de soude par endroits, pour l'aspect granulé. J'ai collé des petits morceaux de papiers divers sur une ligne transversale,
Then I added baking soda here and there, for a grained look. I glued small paper scraps on a transversal line,
 et j'ai recouvert le tout de gesso pour unifier. J'ai ensuite ajouté la peinture ici et là, puis je l'ai plus ou moins vaporisée d'eau.
and I covered the whole with gesso. Then I added paints here and there, more or less spritzed with water.
J'ai ajouté les tampons, collé les perles, les billes de verre, puis j'ai imprimé la citation sur papier ordinaire et je l'ai transférée sur ma page à l'aide de gel médium.
I added stamps, glued beads and glass beads, the I printed the quote on simple paper and transfered it with medium mat gel.
