red skinny book pages

i like working with a single color palette, seeing the varying shades of a color. i don'use red or pink much in my collage art, so i thought it would be fun to work in these two colors. i like the touch of romance and delicacy of these pages.

new journal

acrylic paint and collage, starting in a new journal is fun. i like making backgrounds before doing the collage and writing so i dont have to be confronted with a white background.

skinny book swap

these are two of my pages for chysti of the altered abbey's skinny book swap i'm excited to be in this swap, since i havent had the chance to participate in a skinny book swap before. chrysti is still taking sign ups, but i think spots are going fast, so get there quickly!



for these two pages, i liked the idea of using 2 inch squares and just working with white with small touches of black & grey to feature white in its beautiful light.

if you read the latest cloth paper scissors, chrysti's article about making skinny books pages is featured. pages are made of #140 watercolor paper and ephemera, size is 4 inches by 8 inches. i will post more pages as i am ready.
