Mixin' Up Van Gogh


In the words of Vincent Van Gogh, "What would life be if we never had the courage to attempt anything?" So meet one of my latest bravest attempts, my Van Gogh-ish mixed media collage.

Thinking about my future as a classroom teacher with special needs kids, I wanted some inspirational quotes all around the room. When my Les Artes de Amis craft group got together for mixed media month, I decided to find a quote that I wanted to incorporate into my collage. Sure enough, I found this Van Gogh quote and thought I could do my own version of "A Starry Night". Chapel Hill school colors are blue and yellow, so I thought it all came together so well and here are the results as pictured to the right.




As Always,
Eloise
