One Little Word July 1st Blog Hop starts 11am ET

Illuminate

Thank you for stopping by!  Ali's prompt for June turned in to a fun and messy project!  We were asked to make a series of multimedia canvases.  It was up to us to choose how we wanted to do them in terms of ourselves and our word.  My word is Illuminate and I tried to reflect that in my 9 little canvases.  I had the opportunity to use some products that I hadn't had a chance to use yet - its alway fun when you can use stuff from your stash! 

In June I was also taking Claudine Hellmuth's Composition for Collage class and found that my 9 little canvases collectively made a grid compositional structure for collage!  So in the photos below you will see the canvases as a collage and also as they look in my One Little Word album.

Composition for Collage

Here is my last collage for Claudine Hellmuth's Composition for Collage class which ends this Wednesday. This one is using a grid compositional structure and I found this to be the easiest of the four that Claudine taught us (asymmetrical, horizontal, vignette and grid).  I think that comes from my scrapbooking and crafting background.  Vignette is my next favorite structure for the same reason.  Boy, those 4 weeks flew by!  I don't think I'll get another collage finished between now and Wed.  I'm getting my work space(s) straightened up and cleaned so I'm ready to start MotherLOAD on Thursday and continue with Finding Photo Freedom.  Those 2 classes will take me through the rest of the summer.  For Photo Freedom I'm working on some of the tasks on the weekly task lists but I'm in a holding pattern until the 2 new storage binders I ordered arrive on Tuesday than I continue filling those and then work on my category drawers. 
Just a reminder that the monthly One Little Word Blog Hop will be this Friday, July 1st starting at 11am ET.  Hope you'll stop back and hop through the blogs.  This month's prompt was a very creative one so I'll think you'll enjoy and maybe find some inspiration for your own work as well!
