Neutrals are crazy popular these days, especially grey. I've been somewhat glued to Home Decor on Pinterest and everything there is grey and classic and lovely. So I'm playing with neutrals today.

Collaboration
Nolwenn and I decided to start a couple of paintings and then switch them so that I could finish hers and she can finish mine! We used acrylics, collage and stenciling. This is what the very beginning of her painting looked like.
I really love the patterns that her stencils make, so I went in and pulled them to the surface with saturated colours!
When it was colourful enough, I drew a honeycomb pattern and began blocking off parts that weren't as interesting. It was difficult to choose.
I traced around the shapes with a border of golden "pearls" and added my usual personal touch ;)
Don't know if this it totally finished but that's all for today!

Chunky Mini Journal Giveaway
Hey.
Hey, you.
I made a quick video tutorial about the simple bookbinding method I love to use. If you sign up for the monthly newsletter, a link to this video will be provided in the final welcome email!
But of course, in order to make a video, I had to make a book out of scraps and doodles and other fun things. I'm giving it away.
But it's not happening here. It's happening on my twin blog. So if you want to see more photos of the journal and maybe even win it, you should probably come join us over there.

Make a Mess
I sure made a mess this week! Auuugghh!
The common tip of keeping your desktop clean is such a good one. I feel so muddled just looking at this, and my calligraphy pen has been missing for days.
Today I'm destroying my last sketchbook and maybe only four pages had anything on it I wanted to keep! Some of the rest I've been chopping up and collaging on some tiny pages...
A mini book perhaps? A bookbinding video experiment? A small giveaway? Where exactly am I going with this? hmmmm....

Aura
Butterflies again, butterflies forever. Finishing up a painting for a themed exhibition, otherwise I probably wouldn't have revisited this image again. That's the thing about themed shows - there's less of a chance of producing your best work.
That said, I'm pretty happy with how this one is going! It's a bit larger than my usual stuff so it probably won't pop up in the shop...
