JUST A SMALL CHALLENGE

Lisa's poem
Sometimes known as "black out poetry," this is a simple, fun, creative play time during these stay-at-home times. Sure, I know you are gardening and mask-making and reading and binge-watching, and cooking, and cleaning, etc., but, that can't possibly be filling all of your time, right?

Grab a page from the newspaper, a magazine, an old book, or whatever. Tear out the portion you want. Pick the words you would like to highlight in your poem and outline them somehow. Then, gesso over all the rest. Add whatever touches you would like and Voila'!
(Thanks to artist Lisa Mansour for the inspiration)

I hope you will share.
