After September, I randomly chose a spread a few pages on in my journal and started swiping off excess paint as I made journal pages.
Then I started using prompts from Documented Life to build my spread. Week 1 : hide something under your art, Week 2 : start with a doodle - the doodled October heading is glued down over some private thoughts about October.
Week 3 : Draw a line down the middle and create 2 scenes. Thought I would start by dividing the rest of the page and doing half collage and half paint, but couldn't resist adding the flowers on the painted half. Then decided I should add a face since they've been a focus for October
and Week 4 : repeat a pattern led me to create a flower similar to those created HERE.
Here's the whole spread that captures my October. Hope you have a fabulous November.

Awesome two page spread. Thanks for sharing your process. Very well done and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYay - glad to inspire. That's why I blog :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lettering and a lovely collaged page using your artwork. One day, I'll try something like this too. I can imagine it's very rewarding to chronicle the events of your life and the pieces of art you've created.
ReplyDeleteThanks I feel happy with the memory keeping for the whole month at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHappy creative weekend - I teach my banner workshop tomorrow so really looking forward to that one
