To mark the end of the season of love, #getmessyartjournal has organised a blog-hop. I, myself have never taken part in a blog-hop before so I'm eager and full of anticipation to what it might hold!
The subject of this post is all about the season we have just completed, as a design collective. Get Messy seasons run for 6 weeks so the season of love was from the beginning of the year, to this week as a finale and we will get our new season the beginning of April!
During this season, the prompts asked to look at the things, people and moments in our lives that we love and in my opinion, it was a great topic to start of a new year.
For the blog-hop we were asked to share our favourite pages from this season that we have made...

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rebecca :) the 'fierce' page took ages, but was really calming.. I need to do more! :)
DeleteI feel like your journalling techniques have diversified so much since the start - I love your combination of techniques throughout each page. I've loved your journalling from the beginning, and it's like each week, you raise the bar! In serious awe! Xx
ReplyDeleteDelaney you're too nice !!!! Thank you, I'm glad you like them :) I try, always to be evolving and to better myself, this group helps so much as I see the diversity you all produce and get inspired to work in new and different ways. Feeling the love right now :) <3
DeleteI love how fearless you are with color!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I don't even think about it - it's just in my blood! I'm obsessed with colour, I think everyone is, secretly ;) The hardest challenge for me would be a minimalistic page... eeep
DeleteI love all of the collaged elements. Especially on the first page spread with the Gucci and the colors up in the corner and stitching on the other side. Lots of fun touches!
ReplyDeleteThank You!!! <3

DeleteJules, I like the variety and boldness in your pages. Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) :) :)
DeleteI LOVE your use of collage and scraps, especially in the Gucci spread - seriously inspiring. And I love the way you add depth and texture to the magazine tear-outs with your own drawings. I might just have to incorporate some of that into my spreads next season!
ReplyDeleteOooh, yes, get in on that collage life :D who uses scissors when you can tear it up?!
DeleteJULES! I love the spirit of your work! You have a fabulous energetic flow that comes through!
