Romance and blood

 

 It's time once again to join Erika, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, who wants us to use RED in our art journals. 

I was going for an abstract for my next journal page.  Not sure you can call it an abstract, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

Details of the entry for those who need to translate.  Red: the color of

romance and blood, 

but hopefully not at

the same time.

I used several reds to create this entry that is primarily red and white with a touch of black writing.  I first drew lines using a red watercolor on white 110 lb cardstock.  I even went over parts of these lines with a water soluble crayon when I realized they looked more like pink than red. Then I used a red art pen to color a sheet of sticker paper, which I then cut into various circular shapes.  Finally, I computer generated the words onto some red computer/printer paper.  

I am thrilled you dropped by today and I hope to see how you interpret Erika's RED theme at Art Journal Journey.  Bleubeard slept the entire time!

    So true. Unless you're a vampire then romance would include blood. Smile. In the rest of us, definitely no romance and blood. That's when relationships get sad and scary. I like the various red on your page and your abstract images. Have a great start to your weekend, and thanks for linking up to AJJ. It's much appreciated. hugs-Erika

    I like the typeface you selected for your collage. I’m on my way home to winter now: waiting at an airport in Mexico.
