Connect.\r\nEarth and Heaven.\r\nFor Easter.<\/em>\r\n~Ally.<\/center><strong>My Second <em>Seven Day Covenant.<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nAfter completing my <em>Seven Day Covenant<\/em> of making an artwork (or part of an artwork) and sharing it here at Steemit every day,<br> I now have a much clearer understanding of what an immense undertaking it would be to continue this personal challenge for an entire year.\r\n\r\nI can already see where this may be close to impossible: Like I intend to go away for a week in a few weeks time. Although I guess I can and need to be able to bend my own rules when I really need to. And I could still make an art piece or part of,<br> every day and share it when I return.\r\n\r\nEaster wasn't a practical time at all for me to create and share an artwork every day. However not giving in to the 'inner protester' has made my resolve to continue even stronger.\r\n\r\nI've also seen how my <em>Creative Muse<\/em> has loved to play more consistently with both montage and collage. And has been telling me how to introduce watercolour into my collages now.\r\n\r\nWeighing up the time I'll have available to 'create' this week,<br> knowing I'll need to adjust 'something' when I go to Canberra to see the exhibition: <a title=\"This link will take you away from steemit.com\" href=\"https:\/\/nga.gov.au\/exhibitions\/default.cfm\" rel=\"noopener\">Pre-Raphaelite Masterpieces from the Tate: Love & Desire<\/a> I'd like to very boldly state that:\r\n\r\n<strong>I am now starting my second <em>Seven Day Covenant<\/em> where I will create\/make an artwork or a stage of an artwork and share it here at Steemit every day for the next seven days.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Artist's Journaling and my new Eco-Collages.<\/strong>\r\n<blockquote>After completing a short course recently on Artist's Journaling with <a title=\"This link will take you away from steemit.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_sally_cooper_\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sally Cooper<\/a>: I'm starting to make some small Eco-collages: Which eventually will pave the way for other pieces that will incorporate drawing and painting. ~Ally. <a href=\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/art\/@allyinspirit\/seven-day-covenant-day-2-a-gratitude-tag-original-art-collage-photography\">Day 2.

As below. Easter Rising<\/em><\/a> a few days ago.\r\n\r\nI knew the piece needed some purple\/violet: To complement the golden triangles and to give the general flaxen tones of the dried hydrangeas a bit of a 'lift.' Gold and purple,<br> black and white are also the traditional colours of Easter.\r\n\r\nI hadn't pasted down the spiral of silk threads because I still wasn't sure if that was what was needed. And after playing with the spiral again this morning,<br> I decided the piece needed something more geometric and striking ~ Like a shimmering violet 11:11: Four elongated rectangles made from handpainted rice paper.\r\n\r\nThis is now the finished version of <em>As above. As below. Easter Rising.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><a title=\"This link will take you away from steemit.com\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmYRsUtmgxoaCWEc7Pa3gW6m737vmoyqDAygSYd3yzjsjm\/800-4608-2.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/640x0\/https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmYRsUtmgxoaCWEc7Pa3gW6m737vmoyqDAygSYd3yzjsjm\/800-4608-2.jpg\" alt=\"800-4608-2.jpg\" \/><br\/><\/a><\/center>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>The foundation of <em>As above.

Six golden triangles were then placed pointing up on the bottom oblong.\r\n\r\nDried Hydrangeas formed two larger triangles: In the reverse direction to the initial triangles. <a href=\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/art\/@allyinspirit\/as-above-as-below-easter-rising-day-6-original-art-collage-photography\"><em>As above.
