I’m playing along with Art Journal Journey again. The theme is masculine/feminine.
I started this background for a different challenge then abandoned it as it wasn’t going the direction I had envisioned. This gave me a great starting point to draw a face.
I’m certainly not great at faces but drawing with the eyes closed certainly helps. The way I figure is if I keep trying they’ve got to improve over time!
I added some paper and fabric collage with some found text to balance out the pages.
Last evening I began thinking about this T stands for Tuesday post as well as my coffee theme altered book. The book that will seemingly never be finished at the rate I work in the darned thing. 
I have some ideas in my head about a cupboard filled with mismatched cups. I think I could cut them from scrapbook papers once I get some designs figured out.
I’m not in love with any of the handles on the cups…that is my issue. I’m thinking perhaps I could just do without most of them pretending that the cup handles are just facing away. More thought and experimentation is needed with this idea.
I have a few errands to run as well as trying to stop at knitting for a bit. Then it’s back home to work on some organizing. Not my favorite thing but I love it when it’s done!!
What are you doing today?
Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.
Behold our last set of colors….
Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon
I immediately thought of a hibiscus.

My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.
The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.
I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.
