Double the fun

I've seen this tip once before but never really followed up on it. 

 The tip is....work on more than one project at a time using the same palate. It can be simply a matter of using up what's left, or really just taking a colour scheme and creating matching 'art'ickles (hehehe....see what I did there.)

 I was creating a background canvas board and had put out too much paint... So out comes one of my journals and I started slapping on that paint. In the end I had two projects started ( in hardly any extra time) and I hadn't wasted and acrylic...you gotta love that!

 

The journal background made me think of underwater. Yes, I know there's no pink under the sea, but it's a mermaids prerogative to choose her own colour, dontcha know!

There's a lot of fluro colour on this page and it felt like an inner light, hence the journaling. 

Oh..and here's the canvas board. I've got a few ideas kicking around on how to proceed, so I'll be interested in now it turns out. 

Art Journal

Once again, I took inspiration from Efffy Wild and used her idea of black and white.  The rest was inspired by a quote from Erasmus! I just love quotes...don't you? They are always great for journaling.

Road to Redemption!

I think I've mentioned before that I have many journals....many, many! Somewhere within the vicinity of around 50. 

 Considering that this number is around the number of weeks in a year, it occurred to me that I should use at least one a week, just to validate my journal collecting addiction...hence my redemption hehehe!

 I always get excited when a journal is near completion. I usually leave the cover till last as I just know that I would dirty it up while working on it....suffice it to say, I have only 10 of my journals covered! I guess, for a relative newbie, that's not too bad. 

 

This journal spread is inspired by Effie Wilds " Book of Days" workshop. I took the figures that she painted , but used my own sentiment. Effy's title was .."Soul Tribe". Mine is .."I am many"  which is indicative of how we adapt to interact with different people in our lives. 

Bright girls

These colourful girls with their patterned hair popped up in my journal. They are a bit of fun and I love designing their hair and clothes!
