These were fun! I didn’t think I’d like the colors but I ended up really liking the finished results.

Enabler alert - Alisa Burke is doing her (yearly?) ceramics and painted pouch & journal sale (I don’t think she sells them year round). I got a couple pieces and told my husband he could wrap them up for Christmas. We will see if I still think that when they arrive :joy:

Today I’m playing around trying to make florals in the style of Joanne Sharpe for the last accordion book. I really like her style but think I might need more than the 2 min quick tutorial she gave on how to make the flowers.

She has YouTube videos where you can see more of her process. lol She uses the same blob technique I do! I just need to learn to restrain my exuberance! I am not good at leaving white spaces…

I am struggling with the #5…I don’t like the random brush strokes in one color…and that weird grass thing she does…lol…

I will get them done before Sunday and then after our Zoom, I want to try and catch up on the doodles!

@Abbeeroad — I love your doodles…the second one is so cute! I got my neon paint pens today! I might just cut up some black paper instead of painting pages of my journal black…not sure yet…

I’m a day behind but here’s my full a spiral page. It’s taking restraint to not start filling everything in.

Wow, that’s gorgeous! Is that your favorite color palette? I see you use it a lot!

Thank you! I’m not sure if I have a favorite (I love all colors) but it’s definitely the palette I’m most comfortable working with.

It almost looks like a city scape. What a difference putting the shapes on the outside of the spiral vs inside!

Doodles 11 and 12. I turned the book sideways to do the leaves.
