Hi Everybody!
At TIOT we are starting a new challenge today, and have a Mood Board, put together by me, as our theme. Let yourself be inspired by the images and colours of spring. Think of the soft colours of the first flowers, the wonderful green of newly opened buds and leaves, the soft and fluffy whites of the young lambs and the swan's feathers, and the blue of a spring sky. Use some of these colours or ideas in your project.
As always, projects of all formats are allowed and you have 2 weeks to join us, so hope to see you there!
I used some of the photos from the mood board to make a collage. I am also linking to Art Journal Journal, for the record, being inspired by 'I can see clearly now'. The song was written by Johnny Nash, and speaks of new opportunities and chances now that the rain has gone and spring is here:
I have chosen the version sung by Jimmy Cliff:
As it's Tuesday, it's also time for Elizabeth's 'T stands for Tuesday', so a big hello to all of the T Gang. My drink, is, as always, cappuccino:
Today I am re-showing the photos used in the mood board. Please feel free
to use them in your spring projects if you would like to:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What a lovely post, great idea with the mood board, and love what you made, and of course, the song from Jimmy Cliff. Hugs Sarah
ReplyDeleteI know that Jimmy Cliff song! Lovely work for the challenges, beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't remember Jimmy Cliff, but I like the song. And I LOVE your mood board. It is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a cappuccino with you on the Rhine today. It's a great day for springtime, even though it turned cold and extra windy here about the time I finished mowing my yard.
oh what a beautiful spring post!! Love the imagery , the art, the photos , and the song Valerie. Happy T day too!
ReplyDeleteAll very beautiful, Valerie. Certainly does speak to me of spring. Great song, great photos, great collage -- great work. Always enjoy coming to your 'place' so much. Have a lovely day. hugs, Donna

What a lovely mood board and such a lovely post! Spring is here! As soon as I saw the lyrics I was humming the song. I love that song! I remember the original by Johnny Nash (1972) and I'm not so keen on the Jimmy Cliff version (not so much rhythm). Thanks for reminding me, it brought back memories....
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day,
Lisca
Awesome song and I love your page. Feels like spring! And not the April showers kind of spring. :) Hugs-Erika
