    T Tuesday: play it cool edition

    August 26, 2014 - By 

    Good morning! Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!T stands for Tuesday_200

    I missed last week but I’m back and ready to show you another journal page. Art journals seem to be my major creative outlet these days.

    play it cool

    I got a little crazy with the colors on this one. Wild and messy yet soft and subtle. Really I threw every I had at hand at this one. Painted then torn book pages, washi tape, India ink and even an envelope seal sticker. Then I found the words…play it cool close up

    It fit my mood. I was creating in a chaotic manner…freeing my mind.  The words made me think of being a teen and goofing around…then all of a sudden an authority figure comes into view. Play it cool… Or was that just me? *grin*

    Speaking of playing it cool…

    poolWe were lucky to have one last dip in the neighbors pool before school starts next Tuesday! Sunday was a hot and sticky day…perfect for some splashing and an adult beverage.

    Errands and laundry are on my list for the day… What are you doing today?

    SOC4: week 4

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today?  Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.

    I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 20140630_5607Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back.  Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim…  Anyone with me?
