The big book


It is raining yet again, another good day for naps and reading books. I'm working on the big book -very slowly. My art girl friends have a large book we pass around and do collage or painting spreads in. There are 5 of us and each of us keep it about 2 months so it doesn't come around all that often but when it does my heart skips several beats. One to see the work that has been done and two to try and figure out what I'll do. It has been sitting with open pages on my dinning room table for the past 2 weeks staring at me giving me the "evil eye." Today I decided to work on it, just putting layers of paint down, getting rid of the white pages was freeing in itself. It is funny how white pages can be so scary. I have these collage sheets from Teesha Moore that I'm going to use and who knows what else. I hope you all have a good week-end and that you are doing something creative and fun.

  1. Love the colors of your pages. I'm sure your contributions to the "big book"
    will inspire the next person who works in it. That's the fun of round robins.
    It's raining here, too. We're longing for sunshine and warmer days. Hope you have a great weekend!

  2. White pages can be very intimidating. Love your colour washes on the spread - it looks so inviting already...

  4. What a fun thing to do with friends! If you do journal pages like you do your blog it will be gorgeous. Your words and photos are always beautiful.

  6. Oh ha ha, yes, I know exactly what you mean about a blank page giving you the evil eye! The page looks great already with some colour on - I do hope you will share it with us once it is finished.
