An idea for you and your journal for this long holiday weekend.
Firstly, go through your magazines and look for patterns. Cut out some strips. Or get out your patterned tapes.
Next just get some color down on the page. It could be markers, watercolors, thinned acrylics. Whatever you have. My caran d'ache were handy.
I washed out the watersoluble caran d'ache. Let it dry and used a fat black marker to make the first pattern: stripes. Washi tapes were the easiest thing so I used 'em. My intention is to fill up the spaces between the strips of black and washi patterns with hand drawn patterns.
My mind has gone into a quiet state. Crocheting and letting my mind rest as I contemplate the "what" of it all. As in: what is my intention. Just walk away for awhile. I'll finish that page and post it next week. Here are some of the colors I created using the windfall papers as source. Always an interesting exercise.
Wonderful idea! Going to to it!

No washi tapes . . . but I do have puddles of paint!

Enjoy! I'll be posting my finished page soon. It would be fun to have other examples, if you upload to Flickr or FB, let me know and I'll include it.

Would love to see your interpretation. Let me know if you upload somewhere and I'll included in my next post. You CAN use magazines or anything else that you find
