Featured Guest Designer for "Italy on Sunday"

I'm honored to have been asked to be the first guest designer for 2010 by the multi-talented Gio and Roberta from Rome, Italy.  My charge was to submit a creative theme and show a corresponding work of art reflecting this theme.  It wasn't hard to decide on Can't Keep It In  - a trigger for so much of my art.  The theme will be used for a blog challenge for those participating to make cards, art journals, ATCs etc.  You can find me featured in their special Guest Designer-Italy on Sunday series  here.  


The artwork I chose was a mixed media piece I created in 
March 2009 seen here.
















Turned on with synergies filling me  
The need to release
All of this volcanic energy. 
Nights of painting transported free 
Filling canvas with gusts of me 
 Spinning artistic poetry
  Spilling out my inner me. 
Unwrapped - Emotions tapped
  Can't Keep It In-
Now that's a wrap! 

P.S. I'm so happy to report that there are already  several submissions  for this challenge which you can see on my sidebar here

Your mixed media piece you created a year ago (!) is great with its abundance of symbols and hints for everyone to wonder... and your poem in the end wraps it all up. Thats where you are! Congratulations with your new task. I hope you will get to show more things in “ Italy on Sunday”. The Europeans will love your spontaneity and your directness that you sometimes show when it suites you. Steen.
