True Colors Tip In Page Violet & Yellow About a 5x7 page

(Somerset's True Colors Book)

Yellow and violet are a classic Spring combination...

The color purple operates on a spiritual plane. It can be used to promote artistic creativity and deep inspiration. Shades of the color purple provide mental and spiritual balance both in your life and your home.

After a long winter, we are starved for a little color. The first colors of spring are the sassy little yellow crocuses, followed by the dignified kingly golden daffodils. Our hearts soar to see this vibrant color and we are filled with happiness knowing great weather is on its way. Is it any wonder the "Smiley Face" is a bright, happy and intense yellow?


The Yellow Violet

By William Cullen Bryant

When beechen buds begin to swell,

And woods the blue-bird`s warble know,

The yellow violet`s modest bell

Peeps from last-year`s leaves below….


I love the True Colors book & thought we could create our own version. Without the book being lost in the mail, or paying postage for a book. I would be upset to lose one page, but a whole book would kill me. This is a series of one page & one color (or color combo) at a time. There are so many neat color combos out there....and so little time!

Create about a 5x7in (A7 size) art journal page that can be added to an existing journal.

Any artistic medium is allowed for this swap; Collages, Inks, Paints (Acrylics, Watercolors, etc). Stickers or digital Images allowed, but only as an added touch. You will have 1 partner. You will only need to complete one side as many people glue them onto another page. Sign the front as you would any piece of artwork you are proud of. Make a small tag with your information on it to be included with the page (can be attached or separate). When you receive a tip-in page, you open your book and cut 2 pages out of it about ½ to ¾ inches from the gutter. Then you glue the inside of each page, slide your tip-in page into the space that has the glue and sandwich it in between. Now you have a new page to your altered book! These are a great way to share end enjoy another's work without the risk of sending your whole book through the mail as you would do in a round robin

Thank you. Yellow and lavender or purple are one of my favorite color combinations. It hard to do well however very striking when it is done well. Yours is very nice, and well done. :)
