Book of Days : This is enough

This piece began as a pretty background when I made my previous page, with inspiration from a class with Effy Wild using paper collage as a base for the face, garment and hair. I began with this pretty iridescent background 

and cut a face shape from sheet music, and a simple neck and shoulders from an old book page

I was hopeful that I could utilise this lovely gelli print from my stash - I have visions of hair....

First colours added

I pieced her garment from a few pieces of the pink gelli print, and then cut the feathers to use for her hair

Loving her ♥ Stencils added for background interest

And then I went to work on her face

Added words

And she's done

This is enough : to make art that makes me smile - to be heading into Spring - to see sunshine today - to have fun things planned for September - to have new creative ideas brewing - to be loved - to be here now, just as I am....This is enough for today.
