Another auction item today for Jenn's blog. Remember that all proceeds from this auction will go directly to Jenn's friend Christy's mom who was recently diagnosed with cancer. 
This time I was inspired in two ways by Jenn. She has a very artsy style that I love and I always learn so much from her. She inspired me to take an art journaling workshop this summer, and I have had a blast learning to work with all different types of gessos and mediums (I am usually just a stamper and colorer). I also love to see the different inspirational quotes that Jenn always finds-so I thought I would combine the ideas together to make my project. 
To make my canvas nautical, I gave it an "ocean" background with some texture from glass beads and opaque flake medums, and added the MAKE WAVES that I think could be ocean related, but that most people can relate to their lives as well. I know "making waves" can have a negative connotation, but sometimes it's just a necessary part of life!
It's my first try at something like this outside my journal. Hope you like it! Be sure to check out the rest of the items over on Jenn's blog and happy bidding!
