A brand new Moleskine Portfolio Watercolor album.
That’s a lot of blank pages.
Where to begin ?
Be Fearless, and just jump in !
Get out the grass green india ink !
Drip and doodle with the eyedropper lid. See how the paper holds just enough
Lovely, lovely watercolor paper in this journal.
Close the book – make a monoprint.
Love having this big two page spread.
No spirals, no drips onto other pages.
Stencils, stencils, where are you ?
Ah, this one. Brand new, never used.
I was lucky enough to win it in a giveaway from Julie Balzer a few months back.
Time to get it dirty!
Acrylic paints on a sponge will work well.
Flip the stencil and we have both a left and right hand !
Black India Ink and a dip pen – tools of my heart !
A little line work and what emerges ?
Eyes behind a mask…
A creature with a strange head ?
Reminds me of some strange creature that Dr. Who may encounter…
Shut up, critic who says I am super weird !
Just Go with it…
My being behind the mask starts to develop…
A tattoo on one cheek,
a scar on another.
Details with India ink, a white gel pen and Twinking H2O’s.
Some good tunes playing as I play.
What is on now ?
Jason Mraz, “Details in the Fabric”.
“Hold on.
Know your name.
Go your own way.
And everything
will be fine.”
Ah, yesssss.
That works.
With that, my first page of my new nest feels complete for today.
I think I am going to like my new journaling home.
Happy Tuesday, Beautifully Creative Ones.
