I've done it! With these two pages, I'm caught up to the current week! Prompts are posted on Saturday, so we're just a few days into this week and I'm ready to work on the current page!
Week 11
March Theme: Making your Mark (Doodles and Mark Making)
Art Challenge: Borders
Journal Prompt: "Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind"
For this week's spread, I cut painted papers into scallops, strips and circles to form the borders, doodling and making marks along the edges. I also used the bottom border for my calendar days.
There are many painted, stamped and stenciled layers for the background. I didn't quite get the quote, so just used "Losing my mind? No, it's just LIFE as usual" as my title.
Week 12
same March theme
Art Challenge: As a Focal Point
Journal Prompt: Coming into Focus
For this spread I was inspired by a similar "mandala" I'd seen online a few years ago. I first drew the focal point in pencil and then used a permanent black pen over it. Then I filled in each section with different doodles, using Portfolio watercolor crayons for all the color. I repeated the same colors on the right side for my days of the week and used the single word, Focus, as the title.
I am so happy to be caught up with all the challenges and can now focus on one spread a week!
