My beautiful cousin and friend Missy made us matching Gypsy Journals filled with watercolor paper. The journals are so gorgeous with a ribbon tie adorned with a metal key and heart. She even made a matching bookmark! I had originally sketched my first page while on our Bigfoot Adventure but had decided later that this very special journal needed a very special theme. I chose to fill this Gypsy Journal with "mini stories", each sketch/watercolor would include random words cut from one page of a book or magazine. The words from that one page would then be used to form a random story. The story would dictate the image instead of the image coming first. With the idea in place I cut the first page today, arranged the words into a mini story, sketched and watercolored the image:
I ran away
dressed in my petulant tears
holding my breath
Spellbound by
sparkling shades of turquoise
breathe
wearing a smile
like a globe of jelly.
This was a great challenge in that it could be done in a few hours. Fitting art into day is always a plus!
