Superpowers I would like to have…

For this week’s ‘I like’ Friday I have been working on some art journal pages using the themes and prompts from the Get Messy Season of Lists.

It turned out to be a classic example of nothing going to plan.

I was planning to use the same colours in each page and make all five pages work together. First flaw was that I only made three pages (and I really don’t like one of them very much).

Once I got my colours out, I did three base pages using the diagonal ‘stripes’ in the corners using different ephemera and still planning to stick to my grey/pink/green/brick red colour scheme.  I ended up using navy instead of red because it was being used on the eye shaped stencil and I really really didn’t want red eyes (not on this spread anyway, maybe on a page which needs creepy red eyes…).

As it turned out I didn’t use the colours anywhere else on the pages, so the colour scheme plan went out of the window right behind the brick red.

Funny how things turn out isn’t it?!

I want to go…

When I grow up…

About the only consistent thing apart from the corners is the splashes of neon which I didn’t even include in my original colours!

Once again the Get Messy community pulls pages out of me I didn’t know were there!  I can honestly say that I didn’t see any of these three pages coming until they were done.

I still look at them and thing ‘well, that is not what I was planning!’.

I suppose sometimes planning is not always a good thing, unless you are prepared to plan and then be unplanned at a moments notice which is what happened here.

Happy Friday and happy creating.
