Eat Cake - some watercolor and some mixed media

My last challenge layout for June is for

ScrapAfrica

the challenge was to use aqua, pistachio, pale pink, and pale yellow

I have also been painting a lot with my new Prima

watercolors and had painted the macarons

earlier in the month

but couldn't decide what to do with them

Then a couple of days ago I created the canvas

with gesso and aqua, pink, and green

Then what to do with that

AND THEN

magic 

I began playing off the macarons -

French, Marie Antoinette, frilly, frivolous

(I think people take their artmaking way too seriously -

have fun - it's just paper and paint

and believe me, it really doesn't matter if it's acid free or not -

none of us are creating Rembrandt's

we're just being children again

and isn't that the whole point??)

I painted the shoe

and searched in my stash for 

vintage crystal cuff links and the little rhinestone dog broach

some Prima flowers and a fussy cut chandelier,

some 7gypsies rub-ons,

some hand-dyed ribbons

totally frivolous and fun

hope you like it
