    SOC4: Week 2

    June 16, 2014 - By 

    rp_soc4button.pngIt’s time play along again with Kristen for week 2 of The Summer of Color.

    The palette for this week is:IMG_0008Coral & Teal 

    with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Bright White

    This one was a little out of my comfort zone but that’s what this challenge is all about.coral and tealYou’ll just have to take my word for it that the coral is more coral.  I took over a dozen photos and played with them in Photoshop trying to get a realistic color representation of the real page but it was not meant to be today. My photo mojo is gone.

    Thanks to everyone who stopped by over the past week to check out and comment on my week 1 entry. I’m hoping to make it around to everyone this week but I won’t make any promises.

    Wish upon a star

    wishLayers and layers under the aqua. I finally settled on that color after auditioning several others. The others were definitely not right.

    I’ve used this technique of making circles on my pages before. Highlighting little pieces of the page make it much more interesting. Having the layers underneath give wonderful texture to the page.

    Art Journal Exposure

    May 26, 2014 - By 

    I took some quiet time yesterday to work in my kira-kira journal. It’s nearly full. Then I’ll just need to figure out what to do with the cover.exposureThe page came together with elements from my desk. I only had to go hunt for the vintage slide. As the page was coming together I just had to include a slide. I was lucky enough to find one in my stash that matched so very well.up close exposureI’m not sure how much I’ll be able to create in the next week. My clothes dryer broke so Mr. G will be taking it apart today. Since I share my art space with the laundry…my space will be severely limited. Not that I don’t have tons of other things that I could be doing.
