You could use so many things as smoke or fire: baby powder, flour, smoke emitters, fire extinguishers, fog machines…and for fire: candles, lanterns, lighters, lamps, bulbs… I just love the possibilities of this!

I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week…

No matter what it means to you, I hope to see it come through in your art! I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature! Use the hashtag #PromotingPassionChallenge so I can find you!
