Q&L Challenge #22

The words from The Craft Barn this fortnight are Sensation and  Moon. We are to use one or both words in our work with a Quote or Lyric. I was going to use sensation until a quote in a book I'm reading at the moment popped up.
'Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon', so of course I switched tack, and this is what I came up with.


I used a gritty texture paste for the moon, painted it with a metallic grey acrylic paint, stamped some footprints on, which I outlined with paint to make them clearer, and then mixed paint for a nightsky. I dotted some twinkly stars with white Wink of Stella and wrote the quote. It is actually part of some lyrics of a song called There's a world out there by Paul Brandt - you can listen to it by clicking on the song title if you're interested. It is a lovely song.

Thank you for popping in to look and if you leave a comment I appreciate it very much. I always try to reply and apologise if it isn't always done quickly.

That's all for now, and until next time...........
...........((hugs)) :o) x

  4. Oh, very unusual! It's a super surface on the moon and I love the sky too. I'm listening to the song, sounds a bit 60's.

  6. You have created a great image of the moon. I wonder who's tiny feet you used for the footprints. I love country music. I really miss the Country Music Channel. We used to get it on cable tv then they took it off for some reason.
