Daily Journaling Week 13

Farewell March and the first quarter of the year! I'm following the prompts of the original Documented Life 2014. This is Week 13 : Ask someone else to draw on your page - finish it! And from the blog for Life Documented 2017 HERE : Theme: April Showers
Quote: Created with Salvaged Words
Started by asking my sons if they would like to draw on my page. The sixteen year old : "Can't draw mum, but I can put some words on if you like...." There was some lovely inky splatter on the page that came over from last week - so I gave him a purple glitter pen (basketball consumes every minute when not at school or with his girlfriend) #♥

Been wanting to try a watercolour technique from Effy's Book of Days so decided this was a good place to do it. I did a wee test in my studio book first to see how watercolours would behave on my small dylusions journal paper vs watercolour

After testing on a few different bases, I decided that for this project I'd be fine just to use good quality watercolours - this stack is Koh-i-noor dye-based watercolour 

Love the vibrancy of these. So I followed my son's lead, and went with a heart - then swoops of colour for journaling on the opposite page

I ♥ using "salvaged" (from the prompt) or I call them "found" words in my work - in fact I have a label for that so you can see some of the ways I use them by clicking HERE. We are still having warm temperatures and this spread takes us to the end of March, so here are my words and close-ups of some of my doodles. I am avoiding any thought of April showers and just nodding at that prompt with my use of watercolour ;-)

Really happy with this page and a bonus that it covers off a Book of Days lesson. All ready for this past week's Daily Journaling.
