I’m linking up today with Art Journal Journey. This month’s theme is Through My Window.
I wasn’t sure I was going to play along with the theme this month. It didn’t really speak to me. But as I was searching through my bin of found text, this sentence appeared at my finger tips.
Generally I don’t work backward like this. Usually I create the spread then finish with words.
I began with a crazy paint splattered background that was super ugly. To many colors that didn’t quite mesh. But this often lends itself to depth in a page when adding layers.
I had intended on only using paint for the page but It became clear to me that having more texture would be the way to go.
Since I was going all in with texture I decided to keep my color palette small.
I’m glad I decided to play along. Challenges have a wonderful way of drawing me out of my comfort zone. It’s strange really that sometimes those are the pieces I’m most proud of at the end of the day.
Bits and pieces….accumulation. Found text. Paint, pens and stamps. Ah, the fun and freedom in creating.
