I wasn't even sure what Haiku was when I started this two page spread in Dana's Nature AB, but I knew I wanted to write one. So, I went on the
internet and found the "rules" of 5-7-5 and went from there.
For the left side, I painted the page with Nickle Gold
Azo fluid acrylic, then cut pieces of
card stock (CS) to place over the painted page. I added stamped mica chips that I cut or tore to the approximate size of the CS. I used a stamp by Posh Impressions I didn't even know I had (and had never used) that had three different sea shells on it.
The right side holds the Haiku that I wrote on extra CS and raised with foam tape. I really wanted to add some sea shells to the spread, but want to respect the next person working in the book. So I will leave a Post-It note saying I'll add them when the book is finished. Click to enlarge and read my first ever (and possibly ONLY) Haiku.

your blog is so inspirational, great tutorials, thank you! M
Not only is this a beautiful spread, your Haiku is wonderful. I just love the colors with the touch of orange/red showing through. All around fantastic!
