This week we’ve been doing a small art card and a page about a word that means something to us. Of course mine had to be “intention”. I’m finding my planner has two distinct styles of art and colourways in it, and that’s okay with me. I am enjoying the process and using the planner, so it’ a good thing.
This week’s challenge is about being brave, the quote was supplied. The writing in the white silhouette talks about some challenges this year, professional and personal, that I will need to be brave about. By being brave I move from the darkness into the light.
I am doing two online challanges this year; #colourmepositive which I have already shown a layout for, and DLP2016 (Documented Life Project) which I did a bit of last year. I will be showing work from DLP but not really talking about the process as such. It’s a class you pay for so the content is not mine to share. Here’s what I have done so far towards building my planner.
I’ve joined the #colourmepositive challange on FaceBook – week one’s theme is gratitude. The journal I’m working in is 8×8″. Here’s the cover and first page challange.
As I finished each set of Gelli Prints the other I cleaned my plate by covering it in white or off-white paint, laying down my paper and letting it dry. When you pull the dry print, all the old paint comes off. Often these are interesting prints, with little bits of colour and ghostly shadows of what has come before.
These two really appeal to me, with their pale colours and little dabs of paint. Typically, I had used the back of some printing proofs – now I wish I had pulled them on better paper!
