The inside isn't really what I want. I want layers. I want mystery. I'd like a darker tone. I'm wondering whether to collage some botanicals over it, or maybe cover it partially and redo it.
Ideas?
I'll keep you posted with its progress......

This Piece Is Not Finished
Did you ever know what you want, but aren't sure how to get there? That's happening with this little mini-book. I like the blue and the monoprints with the leaves. I like the art paper on the cover. I used paper tracings of the leaves as a mask when I inked in the blue
and I like how they contrast with the cover. I'd like to finish the edges and add some rust color to those.

Hi, I would bring in dramatic VERY dark brown shadows to the leaves and surround. Orange is the complementary of blue so I may paint some orange on scrap paper and see if I like some added to the pages. Oxide Red may also bring out Contrast. Just a couple of thoughts from someone who loves to experiment! Hope you will share the end result and good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and think it looks lovely. I have a hard time giving others ideas. . . . it needs to be what you like, but I wonder if you have thought of adding some written words, in large or small around the leaves? I do like your idea of some botanicals over it that you have suggested. Whatever you decide I hope you enjoy the process!
