When this Crusade was published my first thought was : "Wow, a lot of fun, I'll start immediately!" But, I didn't. No time, no inspiration, not in the mood, the discovery of Zentangle, it all got in the way. I did make this Moleskine page. Messed around with paint, ink and pieces from magazines, and a quote that made sense to me. It says growing doesn't come easy, it needs work, and for me it means growing in art. I am still experimenting with a lot of different supplies, and I hope one day I can use all those supplies in larger pieces ;-)
Vandaag dan ook de tijd gevonden om met de Crusade aan de gang te gaan. Op het nippertje, want de maand is bijna om, maar dat maakt niet uit. De achtergrond had ik al een tijdje klaar. Gekleurd met aquarelkrijt, en de randen gemaakt van papierstrips uit tijdschriften, en vandaag dus gewoon wat willekeurige teksten uit tijdschriften erbij gezocht en ingeplakt. Ik heb er verder niet veel mee gedaan, alleen nog wat kleur toegevoegd, en ik vind het erg leuk geworden.
Today I found the time to work on the Crusade. Just in time, because the month is almost over ;-) I made the background a while back, just colored with watercolor crayons and added a border with paperstrips from magazines, and today I just cut out some random text that I liked out of magazines and glued them in. I didn't add much, just some happy colors, and I really like these pages.

Thanks for this wonderful Crusade !

Brigitte - glad you found the time! The pages are both so interesting and full of color and optimism. Thank you for sharing the translation of the foreign text so that we can see what phrases appealed to you. And thanks for sharing with the team!
Brigitte...both spreads are great. I think I like the bottom one best...love all the bright color. Thanks for you kind comment on my blog.
Cheers,
Mary
Ooh, what brilliant words (always so much more interesting in another language, lol) and great use of colour! Translation helps - thank you for that. I really, really love this.
Love the background you made for your words. You found some very cool phrases!
Great pages Brigitte
I lOVE the colour of these pages and they have such a positive, happy feel to them - and that really appeals to me :)
The translation helped (!) but I could sense they were powerful words!

Ah! Thank you for the translation! Your colors are so great behind, and the patterns of the cat and the satin-y paint texture, really cool.
I love these - they are both very striking although completely different from each other.
