This blog was set up for the spreads that I do in my daily life art journal. It is simply a Mead Composition notebook where most of the pages have been transformed with acrylic paint, rubber stamps, magazine clippings, bits of my calligraphy, and my writing about whatever happened to me that day.

Pink Flowers
This spread illustrates how I often use two or three colors of paint at once. In this case, I squirted some yellow on the left page and proceeded to brush it out. Then pink was applied to the right side. Without washing the brush, I pulled some of it onto the left side and in spots it mixed with the yellow to create a few pale orange streaks. I think I probably added some lavender to the top of the right page, and the blue in it made a soft neutral gray where it mixed with the yellow. I never know exactly how these experiments will turn out, and that is where the fun comes in! The flowers are rubberstamp images colored with those lovely Prismacolor pencils.

I'm a three color girl too. I usually squeeze out some right onto the page and begin to smear them all into one another. I love the pink!
