Visioning

Vision board background - click to enlargeI've been meaning to make a vision board for quite a while now.  I have quite a few images and words that I've collected to put on it.  Unfortunately, because I haven't been feeling too creative and I haven't made time to work on many projects since completing my ARTbundance certification, I really haven't done much to advance it.

Today I was finally feeling a creative urge and that was the first project that sprang to mind.  I've had this background in mind for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to doing it.  In the spirit of this week's class from SARK's Dream Boogie teleclass series, I decided to "just do it," like the Nike commercial says.

I used a prepared canvas board that is 18" by 24" and sprayed it with various colors of Radiant Rain shimmering mists.  I don't know how well it shows up in the photograph, but it is very iridescent.  For those of you who have the mists and are curious, I used 8 colors: Copper, Jasper Red, Rosebud, Just Peachy, Sky Blue, Celadon, Key Lime, and Solar Gold.

Side note: The sad thing is that the company that makes these sprays and Twinkling H2O pots of iridescent watercolors went out of business a while back.  They were a great company to work with back when I was in the retail craft supply business.  They were very generous with volume discounts when a set of new colors came out and they did great demos at every CHA I attended.

Anyway, today I used SARK's micromovents to get the background done, so the next micromovement is to find all of the clippings that I had collected for my vision board collage.  Once I find them, I need to go through them to see whether I have everything I need and, if not, collect the rest of the images for the collage.  The last step is the easiest - lay them out on the board in a pleasing way and glue them down with matte medium.  Easy peasy!  We'll see how it turns out...
