After saying that I almost always finish what I start, I am putting the Blue Book to bed, as in throwing it in the trash can. The main reason is that the pages (3 and 4 sheets thick) stitched together are too thick and the pages themselves are hard to work on. Had I started in a "normal" watercolor sketchbook, I don't think I would be stopping. Anyhow as soon as I get my package of art supplies from the Kemshalls, I am starting their Sketchbook Workshop. Meantime, here are some of the pages I started in the Blue Book, never to be seem again.
There are some damsel flies
This is a sheet of tracing paper from another post that I smeared paint on with a credit card - a favorite tool.
And here I had folded the tracing paper over onto the next sheet and I was going to continue the design/color across another 2 page spread.
Night night Blue Book.
I love this color combination, I think it will be successful...
ReplyDeleteI have made altered books before but the pages are just too hard to work with.
DeleteI am learning that not everything needs finishing! Off to bed.
ReplyDeleteI love the delicacy of the flies and the colour scheme.
ReplyDeletePersisting or letting go...it's not always the same decision, is it? I just read another post about letting go...Hmmm, that's 2 in a row...Is there a message for me this morning?
