Red for Passion!


I had so much fun making the first pages of this moleskine, although it was a challenge to keep it in one color, I decided to give it a few brights here and there so it wouldn´t be so flat, but I think it wil be wonderful when we open it to reveal everybody´s work. I also think is best for everyone to choose your favorite color so, please, feel free to pick your´s but let´s stay with the rainbow order, so, count four pages for each color and paint, collage or what you love to do in the exact place it should be your color following the rainbow order, so when it´s done we can see the rainbow! ;D

My Moley-Colorful Women

After looking at my first pages, I decided I really needed COLOR instead of the original black, gray and red. My theme is "Colorful Women". I used images from British money, postage stamps, collage, ink, tape and some of my doodling. I will be getting it ready for its voyage to Susanne in Germany.

Fishing for inspiration

We all are mixed media artists in this group. I think we can share some tips on techniques we use.

For those pages, I made computer collage first, printed with laser printer, transferred into my moleskine with Chartpak blender marker, painted with watercolors and a little bit of gold acrylic paint.

Supply swap

Let's do it - let's send some goodies around the globe!
I've got pages of an old stamp catalogue. Who wants to have some?
And which stuff do you discover in other countries' collages and can't get them easily at your country? Perhaps we can help each other ...

Work in progress


Last week I was printing in our silk screen lab some T-shirts and suddenly decided to print the same design on the cover of my Japanese album with the metallic water-based ink.


Susanne's Intro Page


Here it is - the first draft of the sign in page. The faux postage stamp is hand carved (not very challenging ;-)) and, as you see, inclines on the page. I knew it!! :-\
