Temperatures next to +30C are really hard to bear here in the North. Thank goodness, it's starting to cover up and chill down today!
But I'm still playing in my diary at least a bit every day. This is the page finished today.
I'm not particularly happy with it, but I love, that after not touching any art supplies for almost a year, it all feels new to me again.
And I don't know, for how long I will do it in these old altered books, as the pages are definitely too fragile for my method of working in many layers and using a fair amount of water.

And you know I'm always happy to hear from you, right?

We are having a heatwave, too, with temperatures about to climb higher for the next week. So hard to do anything besides sit in front of the fan!
I love the colors on your diary page! What white pen/marker did you use to draw over the color. It looks great!
Thanks, Kim! It's an UniPosca marker, but I'm not a big fan of them: they clog too fast.
I love your colors Rita. Ive heard people say they glue together 4 or 5 pages of old books to get the durability for all the layers and water. I like how you say it feels new again after a whole year away from making art. Stay cool sister.
Beautiful colors, Rita. The white flowers complete a wonderful diary page.
we had some refreshing rain this morning, thanks for sharing your lovely art page today, have a nice weekend
much love...

Very nice Rita...I feel the same as you about the heat and we are having such a heat wave here too!! Next week will be in the mid 30's. Yuck!

it is the opposite here in Australia and we are in the deep of winter... 30+ sounds wonderful as I sit here shivering... glad you got some work in...xx
I like your pages - pretty good for jumping back in. I like the white drawing on the background. Have you ever tried the big white Faber-Castell marker - I love it.
I love that you're creating through your pages, it's a beautiful step forward. Try to stay cool. :)
Beautiful colour against that textures of the text and lines of the drawing.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback and support!
Little Drum Dreams: I have glued the pages together already, and primed, but the pages are more than 50 years old and still too fragile.
I love to see how you add colour and shape to your pages. It's also inspiring to see how you do a little each week. It reminds me that I don't really have an excuse for leaving my art supplies untouched.
Thank you so much, Deanna!
I just love these pages!!!! So fun and colorful ;)
Thanks, Jill!
