a different kind of journal page...and a little adventure


I decided to have a go at making a journal page with JuST my watercolours and my watercolour pencils and any patterns had to be ones I created.


I started the page with splashes of colour, much like I usually start a page.  Then added dots of various colours, sizes and textures.  I like dots, and they're easy to draw!


The red 'flower' started off as dots and evolved in a doodle-like fashion.   I added some more dots the other day, sort of 'stamen-like'.


This page doesn't feel finished yet, and it felt like 'hard work', with lots of thinking, rather than the relaxed playing around I usually do in my journal...because I was using all my own ideas and not using stencils, stamps etc I felt I was over thinking it but I wanted to try and just use my own designs so...


 I can't say I'm keen to do this again, but maybe doing it more it will flow better...we'll see.


And my adventure?  Chris, of Pearshaped Crafting fame, and another friend and I are off to 



in Cumbria tonight and tomorrow :)

  1. I love your page and think you're really brave to kind of go it alone. I think you should definitely do it again; I'm sure it'll get easier and you'll enjoy it more.

    cheers, rachel
