I do love me some pink.
September 21st, 2008 by maryjojo | Filed under art journal.Do you feel the pink screaming from my journal page? Oh. It should it’s called “Opera Pink” by Daniel Smith. I first tried the watercolors by DS and O. M. G. I dig how they play on watecolor paper. So lovely to mix and dance on the page. The color doesn’t necessarily sit on the page upon first applica, but it’ll move with a bit more water. Fantastic! I can add depth and texture by adding water or more color. It does make great backgrounds for my journal pages. I call this on the left, “True Love Waits…”, just like the Radiohead song. The lady and guy images are from a vintage teen mag. I just love her composure and how she’s drawn on. I might have to attemp drawing her for future use. I also dig the eye hooks from my vintage sewing stuff grabs from various thrift store trips. it took some effort to get teh string on there and some globs of glue goo and now they stay put with the string being taut. Awesome.
I creates this page before the pink page. I took my time at it too. Adding a bit here. Adding another thing the next day. That’s why its called “Just Wait” because I tend to try to get to the finish as quick as possible because I want the finished project. However I took my time. I’m not sure if I’m done with this one or not but I seem good with it for the moment.
I have another page I’m working on but getting ready to work on flooring of the kitchen comes first. So moving and clearing is the words for the day. Might just work on that theme for a page sooon. BRB.
