It's been on my Libby holds shelf for literal months...

I read a book yesterday

Behind the Page

Yesterday, my Libby hold on A Court of Thorns and Roses finally came up for me to borrow. It was one of those ‘several months wait’ books. I started it during lunch, and just couldn’t put it down. I was reading chapters in between all my tasks yesterday, and I was able to finish it up this morning before Daily Pages at noon.

I can’t wait to read the next book. I might have to grab an ebook copy or check out the physical books from the library, because I don’t think I’m going to be down to wait several months in between the next books.

Technique of the Day

I actually hadn’t even set out to create a page about the book this afternoon. Originally, I just wanted to see how the iridescent paint showed up on this fun black mixed media paper.

I picked out a light-ish pink color, put down some strips of washi tape to help create the line, and then made the print. On the black paper, the color came out pretty dark — more purple than pink (which looks awesome), and the iridescence looks incredible. I added some stamped stars with metallic ink and immediately thought of Halloween/Witchy vibes and went to find some fun themed stickers.

I ran across these cauldron stickers with colors that worked with my page. Cauldrons are a big thing in the book I just finished up, so it seemed fitting to make the entire page seem like it was about that the whole time lol!

I added a bit of journaling and I’m super satisfied with today’s page.

Give yourself permission to allow ideas to build over time. When you trust your gut, and let yourself create art one layer at a time, you can create incredible things that your brain would never have been able to see at the very start.
