Rachel Jefferies Mixed Media Challenge - May 2020

[sbpoet]

I think I used some new product, but it may be April instead of May. This was a fun challenge, it let me follow my own inclinations...

I used a couple of non-Rachel elements that were specific to what I needed for my page since I didn't have those things in the products of hers I own.

New Product Use - Pocket Art: Signature Kit 5

I was inspired by the wonderful girl swinging silhouette! Thank you. This was challenging but fun.

I looked at the opening and used the frame and the texture from the textile and added a paper texture and a stitch. There was an actual party for a huge sink hole that occured in downtown New Orleans because it happened around May 5 for Cinco de Mayo! I used Rachels add on for the M3 monthly May 2020

New Release Bonus Entry: I used Amazing Things Will Happen, MMA

This was a wonderful challenge! I've never tried taking inspiration from textiles before; what a great idea. I was inspired by the black and white fabric with the red stitched X, and also by the stitching around the piece of cloth. I started out with red, and ended up with orange and purple! It just morphed - really a great exercise. Thanks so much!

I was inspired by the pieced look of your board with the B&W, red & blue, stitched X and other stitching.

 

[Claire Grantham]

WOW!! This one was a hard one, but I loved it. It made me really think about the elements I was using. I used HIH - which is May BYOC.

Yea! I am pleasantly surprised by how many joined the challenge this month. Textile arts to digital art...thats a mixed media challenge for sure...yet, some found inspiration in the palette, some the mark making, some the botanicals and some made a layout about textiles!!! I absolutely love that during the creative process, your muse went in its own direction. Oftentimes, those are the very best layouts.

(New release bonus entry)
This is my take. I was inspired of so much in the board, but the tree at the water, the stitching, the red X, flowers on a steam, the clouds over the house and the Pattern in the middle bottom photo. Great challenge!

 

[AnotherAmanda]

My inspiration was the muted colors in the landscape (second from the bottom left), the stitching outlines around the left bottom.

My daughter and a piece of her art named "27"

 

[ArmyGrl]

My word....three layouts snuck in on me... But got 'em accounted for!!!! Woot woot!

 

[meganmecrazy]

Thanks for the challenge! I was inspired mainly by the two long grey pictures in the top corner, the darker blues/greys including the clouds behind the house and also by all of the vertical and horizontal lines. Here is my "reflect" page that came out of it...
