Ravens And Crows

I'm jumping from book to book.  Today's page was created in my little brown paper wrapper journal which is one of the paperback journals I made in Kelly Kilmer's J.O.Y. group.  With the exception of Nancy Baumiller's crow, everything on this page was cut from books or magazines.  No paint.  Just strips of paper or cut paper circles, images or shapes.  That's all.  Oh, and pen work.  Quite a bit of that, too.  I used my Rapidograph and India ink for the letters, numbers and flourishes, and accented with a white water-based Sharpie poster paint pen.  That's all.

I made several paperback journals in J.O.Y.  I've dedicated this one to the Crayola crayon project we're doing in another art group I belong to.  Each week, a different colored Crayola crayon is the inspiration for whatever we want to create.  I'm a little behind the curve, but the inspiration color for this page was Crayola's Tropical Rain Forest.

I really like this page! I'd also love to know what size your book is - hard to guage on the blog... Don't we have some cool ether-bond?!! It's also wonderful to see you blogging away on a daily basis! Keep going! xoxoxo

Rosie, this book is small. The pages are 5" X 7-1/4". I made two this size, and one that's 8-1/4" X 10". This isn't the page I told you about in the comment I left on your blog. What I told you about is actually a two page spread, and for some reason, when I got busy with this one, I forgot that I was going to post the other as well. That spread is completely different from this page. Sorry if I confused you.
