W is for White


Every month something special drops through my letterbox - another magical journal has found its way to me so I can add my own pages to the wonders within.


Eight artists contribute, adding their own interpretation to the journal's colour theme. This month I received Angie's White journal. A scary colour - but we were allowed a dash of another so mine became rose white.


I cannot tell you the joy this project brings. Sharing this journey with my friends every month fosters a strong connection. We are a tribe that supports and strengthens. I feel a great sense of belonging... they are very special ladies. It is ubuntu.

Sharing for Paint Party Friday and serendipitously we reach W in the Blogging from A to Z challenge ... nearly there!!

  5. Are the flowers imagery that you laid a top the background, or something you painted? If you painted them, what type of paint did you use? I love the translucency of this.

    1. Hi Lesley - good to hear from you.


      I laid down a background of torn book pages then painted white over the top. I dabbed some more acrylic through a stencil then sketched out the flowers in pencil before painting them in acrylic. There are also two different strips of tape - the butterflies and text stuff. I kept the paint quite thin so that it stayed translucent. The white paint is golden fluid acrylics, the grey and pink are liquitex tubes. There's also a tiny bit of a buff colour that came from a caran dache water soluble crayon! Phew... what a lot!!

  20. The light touch of paint you chose to paint the cone flowers with to create a transparent look gave them more of a delicate and whimsical feel. Lovely, lovely work!

  22. Gorgeous-ness! I love that you used rose to complement it, so soft and beautiful....I LOVE it! I have to admit that I'm a little afraid of working in white, but at least there will be lots of inspiration in there for me once it arrives on my doorstep!

  29. Lisa I adore what you've created for my journal, thank you so much!! The touches of rose pink are so pretty next to the whites, and the delicate flowers and butterflies and soft torn edges of the pages tie in with the spirit of the colour scheme perfectly. Gorgeous, I love it!
