GPP STREET TEAM - 'RESTRAINING ORDER'

It's the very last Street Team challenge and only my second one, but I shall be very sad to say goodbye as I have so enjoyed doing these two challenges, and I've really loved seeing all the wonderful work from the other participants.
This month the challenge is to 'hold back' on what we put on our page - I guess the term "less is more" applies!  
For this challenge I have re-worked an old theme - a lot of my work focuses on capture, ownership and possession.   
This time I have tried to concentrate on the large space in the middle of the work - I realised most of my work is compacted into smaller areas - I quite often work on square paper and so this tall rectangular book has enabled me to consciously change proportions.  I am pleasantly surprised at the result - it's not as sparse as I thought it was going to be.   

'Capture or release?'

Thank you to Michelle for two fun months (I wish it had been longer) and to all the participants who have left kind comments on my work. I hope our paths cross again in the future.

GPP STREET TEAM - 'THINGS I LOVE'

By visiting the blog of the extremely talented Terri Neggers - art-life-rust - I discovered the GPP Street Team crusade challenge.  This month the challenge is to create a journal page about things we love. So - with a new journal in hand and a studio just waiting to be worked in I have done my first challenge for the crusades (and enjoyed it immensely).  
Here's my journal page of things I love
