Tammy at Daisy Yellow is running a GREAT creative activity this week! We're building a rainbow one day at a time. Today's colours are Orange and Yellow and I've taken a couple of photos of some of my orange pages.
It's interesting - I'm noticing that I tend not to work in Orange and Yellow; I lean more towards Greens and Blues....
Anyhow, here are my Orange pages:

| This was all crayon circles before I decided to give it an orange wash. I love the ways that the orange made the circles into more of a muted background than a focal point. Now I can use this page to journal on! |

| After reading Violette Clark's Journal Bliss, I've been playing around with creating my own font. Here are some letters that I like. I painted the background in orange and yellow watercolour paint, then pasted on some magazine letters. The letters that I couldn't find are the ones that I attempted to do by hand. Not my best work, by any means, but fun for the exploration! |
Great entries. :) Working out of your comfort zone is a good way to find new things that you might not have discovered otherwise. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad someone else is using other colors as well - I was getting a little shy about the fact that I don't really do monochromatic anything. Anyway, this is gorgeous, and I actually love your hand-drawn letters best of all - they have so much character!
ReplyDeletevery cool font project (and a yummy orange-y background underneath it!)
