Colourbox
general journal junk
-
idealog
You will need:
- paper
- colouring media - pencils, pens, inks, watercolours, etc.
- access to a list of colour names (art supply site, Freetone, a palette maker tool, etc. just for some inspiration)
Do:
- Create a grid with a square for each letter of your first name, or your whole name, if you're inclined.
- Choose a colouring media of whatever type you like, and for each square in your grid, colour it with a colour that starts with the same letter as that letter of your name. For example: Lemon, Orange, Naples Yellow, Indanthrone Blue, Tangerine, Alizarin Crimson.
Notes:
- If you're going to use watercolour paints as your colouring media, make sure you use watercolour paper as your substrate. Make sure to use bleedproof or marker paper for markers.
- You don't have to arrange your squares in a square grid, you can do whatever shape you like, or no shape at all.
- Do this any size you like. A large one would make for an interesting bit of wall decor. Might make for a nice gift too.
- You could also use this as a way to decorate a journal or scrapbook cover.
- Don't put the letters in the box, just colour the boxes.
