    SOC 5: week 5

    July 6, 2015 - By 

    What?!?!? How is it week 5 of The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle. Seriously…time goes by way too quickly!

    This weeks colors are…

    I went very basic this week. I spread some thinned out light green along the bottom edge of the book then sprayed with water. I then tipped the book to get a good flow going in an upward motion to simulate foliage in the background.

    I almost feel like I want to do another page in these colors…something abstract. But this was where my mind was at this morning as the rain poured down outside. Dreaming.

    SOC 5: week 4

    July 5, 2015 - By 

    I was very slow to get a clue with these colors for this Week 4 of The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle. Between that and a busy holiday week I just didn’t get anything accomplished.

    I decided at the last moment to throw in the black scribbles and splatters of India ink. They made the page feel a little more grounded.

    Looking for to seeing what tomorrow holds for colors…

    Clearly Crazy journal page

    June 22, 2015 - By 

    I had no idea where this page was going other than I wanted to use some new paint daubers and a black spray I picked up on clearance at Michael’s. Once I got the colors on I let the page sit a few days not know what to do with the dark mess I had created.

    clearly crazy

    I knew I needed to lighten things up a bit…scrapbook paper to the rescue. What am I actually supposed to scrapbook with that stuff?? Really?

    I noticed the eyes of this model almost exactly matched the green on the page…kismet. All that was left were some clever words to finish the page.

    I’m going to link up with Art Journal Journey with this one since I feel as if I’ve touched on the theme of Masculine/Feminine.  A man’s “thoughts” speaking of this woman.
