"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Happy Enough

Oh what a beautiful day it was after the rain....and even the rain was beautiful.

Another rainbow project from the past....gelli print daisies collaged on a book page.

After a slew of morning chores.....I started coloring in the background of the Bowman's root doodle with shades of green colored pencil. I didn't love the look....so tried to enhance it out with light shades of green marker and still didn't like it. I was working on thin drawing paper....so was limited with what the paper could take. 

I looked at the whole page and knew I didn't want to continue...so I cut it up and kept working on just a small section until it made me happy enough. 


The simple line work helps the green be OK enough....and the blooms still shine.


I immediately found a spot in my layered floral joy journal....and I love the way you can see it from the very fist page. Sort of. It's there peeking out in the back...if you look closely. 


I found a page that was pink....so folded it in half and glued it in. 


It's going to be fun using this doodle as a starting point on these couple pages.

  1. The green that didn't work, the more green that also didn't work, the cutting, the linework, the playing up of warm and cool green contrast, the finding of a place in your floral joy journal—LOVED the ride, love the landing place, love the way that piece will invite more play with your muse. TA DA, MaryAnn!
