Playtime (in glorious technicolour!)

The other day I had a great time with my friend Sarah - she has been following Samie Kira Harding's workshops and she shared this colour technique with me! I don't know whether I quite 'got it' but we sure had fun.
It involved using blocks of colour on our journal pages! Quite messy, using credit cards, fingers and making marks with paint - I wasn't too happy with mine but after doodling around the edges on one of the pages I am beginning to like it more!

 The other page is still to be doodled on

I quite liked the patterns created on the paper I used as my palette

 When I got home I 'attacked' a page in my small journal that I hadn't liked.
Still not sure!
Today I have taken a page that had spray ink on it and added some paint

 Normal service will be resumed …sometime!!!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    Looks like it really WAS a playtime for you. What fun. I'm not sure I get what you were doing in your journal, either, but I like the palette page. I bet that will make a super fantastic background at some point. Now I want to get my paint out and play.

    Hi Chris....I love your pages and your colours look great. I must admit I tend to quite like the patterns that are created on my paper mats and often I keep them and use them on other journal pages. x

    It looks like you had lots of fun playing Chris, I do like the colourful background with the pops of white here and there - now that you know the 'how to' you can develop your own style from it. Like Elizabeth, I want to get my paints out now........ Anne xx

    It looks like you had a lovely time getting inky and painty! I'm sure you'll find lots of lovely ways to develop these pages...
