Hinges and Repeated Words

I think I'm getting more comfortable at creating collages.  I'm not worrying about doodling over them anymore - I'm just creating them for themselves.  For Prompt#27, we had to create a page that had an extra little flap added to it.  So I delved into my little box that I stuff "desk debris" into….and finally attached a piece of gel printed paper, hinged in with washi tape. That piece I will eventually doodle on.

Prompt#28 was to draw a gate of some sort.  I began drawing mine, and eventually realized that my swirls were looking like Bass Clefs, so I made sure that the centre ones were Treble Clefs.  Then…… I cut down the middle of the gate so that it would open to the page below.

So when you opened the gate there was a field of flowers.  The paper wasn't watercolour, so I did my best to include a sky and a brick path leading to the gate and I used washi tape to reinforce the "hindges"

The next prompt was repeated words, so I used the flower garden as the theme and wrote Spring in on direction and Flowers in the other.  I spritzed it with a little water, but decided that would smear it too much so I left it.

Have a great creating day!
