I am really enjoying keeping up with the monthly challenges over on Mission Inspiration. This month's prompt was Magnificent Machines – cogs, gears, pistons, engines, levers & gadgets. The suggested colours were Berry Red, Cerulean Blue and Copper. The prompt techniques, to be included in any order were handwritten text, frame or border, fabric scraps, metallic paints, and book text.
I must admit, that having finally caught up with all of the previous Art Journal Prompts, this was the first prompt that I saw when I joined the group, and the one which I put off working on the longest. Most of the examples that I saw in the album involved using actual material, and I really couldn't come up with any ideas at the time. During the subsequent weeks, I have learnt to think outside the box, and quite often search for quotes involving the prompt, to give me a starting point for a page. As I was determined not to put this page off for any longer, I found the quote which I eventually used and the entire page fell into place! This is now probably one of my favourite pages of the 23 that I have completed so far.
