Positivity

Sometimes life can have it's down days, for this reason,  particularly during the winter months,  I like to surround myself with positivity.
I read positive books, mix with positive people and create as much positivity as possible.
This week I have thoroughly enjoyed working on all different projects, some in my journal,  a large tag and a piece of home furnishing in the form of a photo frame upcycle.

This journal page focuses on a women's beauty,  most importantly how it shines from within. People spend so long being negative to each other and even when they look in the mirror they see a negative image. Women are beautiful,  all shapes and sizes, colour of skin, sexuality, when they let their beauty shine through from within.

I love decorating large tags, they are like a mini canvas. This one is mdf , painted with paperartsy fresco paints then splattered with white gesso. I added gold Guilding wax around the edges.
Tattered angels do a fabulous range of inspiration based quotes and sentiments on a almost cotton based card, I love working on it with basically any medium, it absorbs beautifully.
I finished off the a couple of mini pegs, a rosette and some wired organza ribbon.

This frame was picked up from a charity shop for 20p. I painted it in brown chalk paint , added Guilding wax then sanded back. I added 2 vintage buttons to the corners of the frame.
The inner of the frame was created from the packing of a 7gypsies packet, added lace from an architextures range and a cut off from the chicken wire tall base.
The tattered angels butterfly was coloured with sakura gel pens then distressed with vintage photo ink pad.
I completed the project with 2 heart shell buttons.

If you are having a rough day, why don't you try a bit of inspirational creativity.

Lots of love xxx
