For my art journaling I love to hunt for appealing words
and big lettertypes in papers, old books and magazines. This week’s newspaper supplement had lots to
offer. I found quite some useful words, nice big letters and moreover a picture of a white horse.
As I was neatly piling up my ‘harvest’ to shove it
into my inspiration file, I noticed the horse’s head laying on top of the
words: I want to make people dream. It really touched me how they seem to fit together. I placed them aside where they landed on top of a black page
with white lettering that was also in the pile…. It really made the white stand out
against that dark background…
I got exited and felt that a touch of red might be added, so I leafed through the supplement and found a little red pillow. That was exactly what was needed,
only a small strip of surrounding black paper had to be snipped off to make it
fit...
I took the scissors and the cut-off snippet happened to fall on top of the horses face…
Wow… lo and
behold!... it all came together:
colour, words, picture, forms.
Do you believe in coincidence? I don't. It had to be.
I’d been looking for words and was given a unicorn!!
I wish you lots of wonderful ‘accidental gifts’
