Our September Challenge endeth

Well hello there, we're at the end of September already, hasn't it just flown by? As you know, September also means the end of our 'Poedgy' challenge, so we would like to say a big thank you to

Laura

Chrissie

Gill

and

Anne

for joining in the fun and making such great art work. Do take a look at their blogs, all are fab and well worth a look, not just for our challenge pieces.

So, the bears posted their inspiration piece at the start of the challenge, with Podgy's Insane art journal pages, but we couldn't just leave you without showing you another piece inspired by those wonderful Poe quotes.
Here's an art journal entry using the quote ' If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered'.

This was a real mix of found items, including an altered magazine image, an old faulty CD, pages from an old diary, and some Post It notes. We used Dylusions mists over the pages, and alcohol inks for the CD. Along with some India ink to create drippy effects and some texture paste we created a really textural background.




The best place for the quote was on the CD so it really stood out.




We've been preoccupied with Illness this month, along With Wilbear trying to sort everything to start his new studies next week, so we haven't come up with a theme for next month's challenge. Would anyone be interested in an 'Anything Goes' challenge using any book quote they liked?

With love from the bears
