Gesso – our word and one of my favorite mediums.  If I was ever stranded on a desert island – this is the medium I would want.  I can make paint by mixing it with leaves or berries for color.  I can paint on leaves or tree bark.  I can make art – as long as I have my gesso!

Week 10 of the #wherepaperandfabriccollide challenge with @creative_textile_mastery our word was "Strong Women" in honor of International Women's Day. . . . and I did a page in one of my art journals. I am so lucky to be surrounded by strong women who lift me up and are always there for me. #everythingscrapbook #craftist #lakeworth #westpalmbeach #shoplocal #artistherapy #artjournal #strongwomen
