For Crusade No. 34, Michelle Ward beckons us to Come Over to the Dark Side. Michelle has created some gorgeous dark art by working with stencils. Check it out.
I had intended to work with stencils. But when I began rummaging through my overstuffed, ephemera folder, I pulled out a black door, jester, photograph and the phrase, "She Does Art." I had printed up a bunch of these phrases a few years ago.
Instead of using stencils, my muse stubbornly created this journal page for the Crusade. And she added the pink socks and ribbons too. Now go look at what the other artists created.














darlene - thanks for coming to play with the team and for showing us your black page with applied images. love the pink socks :) there is still plenty of time to try a stencil or two *wink*

Oh yes, the pink with black adds a nice feminine touch. It's very fresh-dah-ling!

I am so surprised how everyone makes a complete different challenge on black. I like the use of the photo's, it gives your work a very special atmosphere,a childhood memory maybe?

Well, all I can say is that your "stubborn muse" did a great job. Isn't it amazing what we have tucked away when we start ratting through our art bits 'n bobs?
