Happy colours
When I looked at the weekly pages in a row in my gallery the other day,
I noticed that the last few weeks I used a lot of cremes and browns on the
pages. I find it a bit odd, ’cause seeing them next to each other, they look like
depressing pages and I wasn’t down at all in that time (OK, maybe that one
week, but not the other days.) Where are the bright, happy colours?
I know where they are!
In my painting box!
In my scrap box!
I only had to pull them out…
..
..
…which I did!
Week 45
See, I’m a happy gal!
Happy: ’cause both Michelle & me ánd the students are having such a
blast with the workshop “Mixed Emotions”. It’s like one big party
on the workshop community and I’m in Oooh and Aaahh over the
work that the students come up with!
Happy: ’cause it’s almost November 21, and I will meet some of
my blogfriends in Heesch! (You’re invited too! See the end of this post)
Happy: ’cause the scrapbook store called that the spray ink I ordered
(“butterscotch”) arrived and I really miss that colour since I used the
last drop from my bottle.
Happy: ’cause the ladies that will be in the Dutch “Let it Loose” class
are so enthusiastic – and class hasn’t even begun!
Happy: ’cause it stopped raining.
..
Remember: there’s always a little something to be happy about!
Have a happy week!

Your post today is so uplifting! I find myself using certain colors at certain times of the year – I think it might have to do with the angle of the sun and how the sunlight/shadow/leaves changing/everything in Nature gives you a different perspective and sense of color. I know your classes must be so inspiring – I always enjoy seeing your pages and also those of your students on their blogs. Have a happy and creative week!

I discovered lately that I really need to try leaving my “comfort zone” of reds & browns.
I’m tempted to play with pink. is this happy enough? 🙂
thanks for the inspiration.

I love both styles of your work, darker colors and brighter! That’s the beauty of art we can mix it up so we never get bored!! haha I haven’t done a gel transfer in a while and will have to do that again soon. They are alot trickier than the packing tape and sometimes I can be lazy. haha!

Van afwisseling wordt je ook “happy” toch? deze kleurige of de donkere kleuren, ik vind je artjournals altijd geweldig om naar te kijken. Veel plezier zondag!!! Gaat mij denk ik niet lukken. Andere keer…….
