Permission to be messy? Are you kidding? This was soooo liberating to a perfectionist like me. Today I had a break between school and a parent conference, and it had been a VERY stressful day, so what did I do? I checked my blog, of course, and the new challenge at Crazy Amigo and it was "Messy." So, I had an hour to spare and I decided to attempt the challenge with only what I had in my desk drawer and my classroom. You may think it strange, but I carry around an envelope of collage images. I had this Victorian girl from a vintage magazine my father-in-law gave me, and the roses came from a magazine in my classroom stash. I also had my art journal, which I always carry and in it were several prepared watercolor background pages. I altered the girl with Crayola crayons and a Bic pen. Then I scribbled all over the background and added some White Out using a Concentration game piece as a stamping tool.I made the caption on my computer and finished the whole shebang before the parent arrived. Stress over, challenge done, fingers dirty, and I'm happy!
