I can't say I'm a super circus fan, except for Cirque de Soleil but Wisconsin is the home of the World Circus Museum in Baraboo. Life is messy, fun, scary, difficult, expensive. I used lots of color in this, dripping watercolor, splattering purple acrylic, using pink metallic backing cs even though there is no pink any where else. This was my inspiration for today's MIX:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/833095631045568096/
Love both challenges today. Thanks, Jeanne and Polly.

Loved your inspiration piece and what you did with it. The dripping paint can be a metaphor for life and the circus tie in fits with Thiebaud...I can easily see his paintings in a circus or fair type setting. Love the quote! You're always thinking outside the box. Thanks for playing along.
I've driven by that Baraboo exit many times and never ventured over to the Circus Museum...maybe I should next time....

I love this circus collage!! The circus never was of interest to me, but a friend of ours was part of the Ringling family.

Terrific circus themed card. My aunt and uncle use to work for a circus for 10 years before they retired. It was great to see them stop in town when they use to travel. Super card you created for the challenge.
