This month is all about mark-making and what signs and symbols are meaningful to you. Please bear in mind that this would be an ideal opportunity to use your Word of the Year also and focus your mark-making and symbols around your word.
We can't wait to see what you create this month and what you
choose to focus on! Due to changes on Instagram it is harder
to see the recent entries on a hashtag, so please also remember to
tag us @mtw_challenge so we don't miss your projects.

HEATHER MCMAHON
I'm doing a full step by step about how I made this on my blog if you want to take a look.
My word of the year is IMAGINATION. One of
the symbols of imagination is the bulb so I used
them here. I created my background using distress
oxides, the tissue paper and a stamp. I hope you
like it

Ready to...
I added a lot of mark-making by hand and also using some Tracy Scott stamps from Paperartsy. When it came to symbols I realised that I had to include a kitty as my own personal symbol, as they appear many times in my art, accidentally or on purpose. I made my page with a pocket to hold two tags with even more mark-making on them. More photos and details on my blog.

HEATHER MCMAHON
I used my Word of the Year - determination -
and lots of mark-making on my page. The black stripes
on the sides of the pages are made with a paint and a
fork. I also hand-drew the alphas (using a
stencil). I confess that the rest of the marks are from
ArtStacks' new release Tissue Backgrounds but they
worked perfectly for this! I had fun adding blanket
stitching to the edges of some of the papers
too. I hope you'll join us this month!

I decided to use my WOTY for this challenge. My word is Possibility. A google search showed the symbol for possibility which is the infinity symbol.
