Head in the Clouds

Do you daydream?  Did you daydream as a child and slowly fall out of the habit as an adult?  I can understand that, for sure.  It can seem silly to daydream as an adult, but I don't think so.  I find I can daydream when listening to music, reading a book, or just relaxing.

 

This tag is about daydreaming, and the fun that can be had when you're off in the clouds.  I pushed gesso through a stencil, then diluted Artist's Loft Turquoise and Tim Holtz Ripe Persimmon paint with water and used paintbrushes to put a wash of both colors on the tag.  Then I used a brayer to put black paint on the gesso circles from the stencil.  After that it was a simply matter of adhering all the elements: punchinella, a die-cut star from Oddball Art, and two handdrawn clouds made from underpaper and gelli prints.  I added a few beads to the end of the string as well.  I finished with Sharpie pen doodle outlining and white paint splatters.
