Note To Self

First page of the second art journal. I'm still in the hot pinks & oranges mood, after much staring at the yummy ice-cream. LOL. 
I wanted to use the bright orange journal earlier, but I changed my mind. I'll start with the blue-green instead. 

This was what I made last night; a note to myself.


I dabbed some leftover orange texture paste over a stencil and left it to dry overnight. First thing I did was to draw horizontal thick lines with soft pastels and finger-wet them. Splat some purple & yellow acrylic artist ink and quickly spritzed some water over it. Let it completely dried.


Adhere a measuring tape and circled the numbers. Lastly, wrote down some notes to myself. Yup ... I still need to remind myself to walk slowly and listen to the birds singing.

There you have it. First time using ALL colors of the rainbow on one page. Feels so good. Till next, take care.
