I've been feeling very creative lately and so I decided to finally paint the blank canvas that has been hanging in my hallway for 2 years now. It faces a large ornate mirror and according to feng shui, whatever you place in front of a mirror is what will be multiplied in your life, so you should always be careful what you put in front of your mirrors. Hence why it is bad feng shui to have mirrored wardrobe doors in your bedroom!  

The canvas was already painted purple and I decided to paint angels wings because I would like a stronger angelic presence in my life and I wanted to do this as a dot painting for two reasons, one. I can't draw or paint to save my life, but dots I can do! and two. I am half aboriginal and I like that this would be a reference to my aboriginal heritage.

I made my own stencil after printing the outline on cardboard then very carefully cut around it to make the stencil. I then used dressmaking chalk to mark the angel out onto the canvas and finally started dotting away using gold paint I bought from Dollars and Cents for $2 a tube and the end of a pen. I found this to be an immensely enjoyable project to do. To be honest I am not particularly happy with the entire finished product as the angel is off centre, but I still really enjoyed doing it. And Brad loves it, he thinks I am amazing for doing it, so who am I to argue with his critique? lol.

Anybody else felt their creative juices flowing lately?

love
