Words, inchies, and art

Do you ever 'get on a roll'

when it comes to art?

Well, since the beginning of the year

 I have been making 'inchie' art...

one per week inspired by

 a different prompt word each time.

I got so focused on making them this week,

that I finished all of them for the year.

From the beginning I wanted to

create one art piece using all of the inchies.

So below is what I did.

I call it

WORDS.

The quote in the piece is by

Alfred Lord Tennyson

and it says...

"Words, like nature,

half reveal and half conceal

the soul within."

I used a canvas board, acrylic paint,

watercolor pencils, gesso,

and all of the inchie art squares.

The collage is paper from old dictionaries,

garden books, music pages and greeting cards.

I used a stencil to make the background design

then freehanded some more designs here and there.

Gel medium and tacky glue worked great to

attach everything down well.

On top of it all I sprayed

Krylon acrylic varnish.

Now I just have to frame it.
It measures 16 in. by 24 in.

Savor the Day!
