Colour Blast - Minted

OMG! It's another jump up and down and dance situation! Like when I was asked to collaborate with the Zine Squad.  I was so excited when I was asked if I'd like to be a part of this year's version of 2016's Colour Chaos. This means we all pick one color to be the focus of our art journals. They are then mailed from one lady to another until making their way back to it's owner.

We're all introducing our colors and the pages we made today, so please be sure to check the list below to find out this years colors. It's like getting seven more "colors of the year," but way cooler since you get art journal pages along with it!  Oh and since this in an international group, I'll probably be interchanging color and colour.


My color is mint. That perfect mixture of blue, yellow and white that brings Spring to mind.  And if you read my pages in order, they are a section from the Tao Te Ching.

The art journal itself is made from a small Moleskine cahier, that I took apart and rebound with a variety of papers. There's Moleskine paper, scrapbook paper, watercolor and mixed media paper. Also some tracing paper and a transparency sheet. I hope everyone has fun with it!

  3. I'm excited to get my hands on this! Mint is a colour I wouldn't normally use so I'm looking forward to the challenge... I also like that you'll switch up colour and color depending on the journals heritage ;) <3 xo
