    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.

    SOC5: week 2

    June 17, 2015 - By 

    Week 2 of The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle has me loving the colors! I absolutely adore this color combo.

    1 pink + 1 pink + 1 orange

    I used a hot pink gelato through the middle of the gesso’d page…spritzed it with water and blended it with my fingers then tipped the book back and forth to make the color run.SOC5 week2I found a piece of scrapbook paper in the pastel pink shade and punched a variety of circles to place across the center. SOC5 week 2

    I happened to have some fun orange mesh, washi tape and some brads all in the same shade of orange.

    Since I have such a difficult time leaving a page without words, I decided that vellum would be a good choice to add the required word. I can’t explain it but for some reason words make me feel at peace with a page.SOC 5 week2Even after my word, I felt it still was lacking something….orange splatters fit the bill. I’m very happy with this page as simple as it is.

    Thanks once again to Kristin for this fun summer challenge!!
