Here's to seeking out joy in the waiting, beauty in the ordinary, and hope in unexpected places. Morgan Harger Nichols
Most of my art projects will wait until after the holidays....but I'm finding a few minutes here and there so work in my Playful Pages art journal. As you may remember....I assembled the bones of the journal with some of my painted papers.....the colors inspired by this vintage paper on the inside cover.
Here's where I'm at now.
I am trying to balance colors and repeat patterns to create flow. I'm extending the wire vine onto other pages and will try and connect them to something wherever they land. When I tuck something on a page that is peeking through...that gives me a start for that page spread when the time comes.
The process is playful and engaging.
Here was the first step with just a few papers
and the original wire vine tissue overlay.
I'm finding hope in unexpected places.
Such inviting complexity, creativity, and connections abounding here, MaryAnn! I've just spent several minutes clicking back and forth between pages to follow lines and colors and patterns (oh my!). You are practicing hope in such a glorious way, and I am grateful to be one of the beneficiaries of all this balance and flow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this colorful comment Dotty! It feels like I'm assembling a story....each line helping create the next one. It will be fun to see how it evolves.
DeleteI admire this so much, MaryAnn. I love the overlapping colors and textures and the vine so perfectly provides flow to the pages. It is really beautiful! Judy

DeleteThank you Judy....that means a lot. It's an engaging process and I can see all kinds of applications for the concept. Even cards...with just a few pages would be fun.
