A new challenge was set by Finnabair for her Patreons with the theme being Night Dreams and the requirements being to use mica powders in at least two ways.
Being a lover of mica powders anyway I wasn't worried about that part of the challenge (for once!) and I instantly knew what I wanted to make
Sent a template off into the garage for himself to cut for me from "anything wooden ... nothing special ... don't mind it a bit rough " (the moons, silly, nothing naughty!!!!)
Back they came and after a little tweaking were exactly what I wanted ... himself is very useful !!!
My idea was to portray that dreams can be both dark & moody & scary but also pleasant & light & happy too
Unfortunately, right now, my dreams (and I am sure those of many) are rather on the dark & scary side
I used the same colours on both as I knew they would look very different on the black and on the white but I kept the dark one mechanical and the light one flowery ... at least that is what I tried to do
I really enjoyed making this but have yet to decide if I will share it in the Finnabair group ... it was suggested to me that it has nothing to do with dreams but I figure it is my interpretation so am just a bit confused right now over what to do
Time will tell!
The quote kinda says it all really
