Rain's Thursday Art Date: Your Dream

Today we're meeting at Rain's for her Thursday Art Date.  This week, the theme is Your Dream.  I was actually surprised how many Dream inspired works of art I came up with.

I call this My Dream Home.  I'd love to live here.

Dream Weaver

I just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget this pain

Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

I made this and later framed it for a friend who has cancer.

"Dream."  I wish I could create more art like this one.  This uses several of my handmade shimmering mists. 

I get a lot of these dream catchers, so this is a good way to use them in my art.  I even did a bit of stamping on the background, too.

I apparently use the word Dream a lot in my art.

Occasionally the Dream is a bit hard to see, as this house is being held up with a Dream ribbon.

I call this "Clinging to a dream" because I used cling wrap to create the marks on the background paint as it dried.

My dream for when I grow up for a Journal 52 challenge.

When I grow up, I want
to give more than I receive,
afford others the same
opportunities I’ve had,
love and be loved,
sing at the top of my lungs,
consult, teach,
dream BIG,
make great art from the heART,
and drink lots of creamy coffee.

Dream Angel was an Inspiration Avenue challenge.  It doubled as the cover of my rust Altered Tip-in Book that holds the art I received from players in two round robins.

I tried to write the word Dream using some very old fabric paint that was supposed to look like nail polish.  Unfortunately, the tip of the paint bottle went crazy after I wrote the letter D.  This was a spread in my Hands altered book.

I called this spread I created for a couple of challenges "Summertime Dreams Are Forever."

Another spread, also created for two challenges, I called simply "Dream."

I created this hodge podge collage for Squiggles because I spend so much more time with Bleubeard art wise.  Squiggles isn't jealous, he's just needy.  It's hard to read except in close up.  The sentiment is ""Squiggles' delusional dream after sniffing catnip."

And finally

an index card from 2016 called "Bleubeard's Bad Dream."  I had been sitting next to Bleubeard when he started twitching, moving his ears, legs, and tail.  I could tell he was in REM sleep and more than likely dreaming.

All art created by me.  All photos taken by me.  Bleubeard was actually excited and wanted to help find dreams this week.

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today.  I am truly grateful to you, my friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join me at Rain's Thursday Art Date.
