I put some finishing touches on about half of the mini collages I’ve made over the last couple of days. They are addictive to make.
The rest I think should go on colored card stock and I didn’t have any of that cut, folded and ready to go. Plus I’ll likely match each collage to particular paper before cutting.
These are my favorites from this batch of cards. The flowers just seem to dress them up in a perfect way.
I had so much fun making the first journal spread yesterday, I went back for another.Once again I worked in my white journal. Boy, I just realized that I have 4 journals going at once. And I have an idea for yet another. I should probably wait on that idea at least until I fill one of the currents to capacity.Tissue paper was used as a start for this page as well. It had been crumpled over and over again. Lots of tiny little creases. It started out very purple…or maybe violet. The color was a little too “in your face” for my taste. I used a couple of mists around the edges to tone it down to a dull roar.. The aqua washi tape begged me to use it with the new deeper shade of purple. The black and white just helped everything else pop on the page. I have this thing about circles…I use them all the time. They just make me happy I guess.
So last evening I still hadn’t had enough creativity for the day. My sewing machine was still calling me. I grabbed bits and pieces of fabric, paper, fiber and trims to sew together for collage cards. I didn’t give it much thought…just went for it. I made 21 mini collages that will eventually become greeting cards. Some will be left blank…others will have sentiments…some collages may not make the cut. Who cares…it was all scraps and bits laying around.
It’s another snowy day in the neighborhood.The white stuff messed up my plans for the day. I had a list of places to go today including on finally making it to knitting this morning but instead I have a date with the snowblower.
I’ve got a kettle heating so I can make a large thermo mug full of tea to drink outside.
On the bright side, I do have some art to share. I was inspired by a Yogi tea bag and Patty’s word of the year to make this piece.
The Gothic arch shape was a leftover from a previous swap. I think I only have one arch left…I’ll have to save that one for a template.
Since the snow is still falling…I’ll be visiting my T Tuesday friends before tackling the driveway.
What are you doing today?
So glad orange and hot pink were chosen for the Summer of Color week 2.
I love this color combo! It’s got 3 B’s going for it…bold, bright and beautiful!!
My bad mojo with this journal continues.
I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites.
I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.
I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.
However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.
This journal spread was several days in the making.
I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.
I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.
Oh well. Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.
I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.
It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.
