Mi Vida Ocupada: My Busy Life!: True Colors: Calling for One More Artist!

I am in the process of organizing two different Circle Journal groups right now....one is with Maria and some of her friends in Canada and the Netherlands. We will hopefully get this one off the ground by January 1st, if not sooner. Everyone will be picking their own theme.

The other is a color themed Circle Journal with myself, Alex, April, Chriselda, Valerie, Sarah, and Nadine. We had an 8th girl who just decided to back out of the project (better now than after we start!), so we are anxiously looking for an 8th member to join us so that we may get started with the journal.

I got the Color Theme idea from the book True Color: A Palette of Collaborative Art JOurnals., sold by Stampington.com. We will each be picking a color/color scheme/combo and the books will rotate among us. The color schemes that were represented in the book are white, red, hot pink & orange, sunset, yellowgreen & copper, metallics, autumn, violet & yellow, violet & green, green, forest floor, aqua, blue & ochre, sepia, and black. I scanned in several examples from the book and put them in this True Colors Album (also located on my sidebar) . Some very cool stuff! I say it is worth it to buy the book just to read about their process and to see more pictures of their work. Very talented artists!!

Now remember ladies: These were professional artists who completed these pages, not scrappers like us. This is just an idea of what can be done, not what is to be expected. They used tons of objects and techniques on their pages(quilting, sewing, fabric, fibers, mesh, metal, paint, stamping, drawing, etc). I am sure we will all come up with our own unique creations with a scrappers' flair. I am really looking forward to starting and I know most of the other girls are too!

Please let me know if you have interest!! This is a commitment that will likely last 8 months or so and will also involve financial commitment, as we will all be shipping our journals to the next girl at the beginning of each month. Serious scrappers only!
