Cat Hand's Book of Color, Red

Looking at everyone's pages, I just thought there was TOO MUCH RED. It's not my favorite color. I like it, especially with rainbows. I love all colors, but so much red... maybe it's so much any color, I guess I'll find out when I do more pages. I am really thinking of doing backgrounds light and then adding color. I keep thinking about these as calendar pages, and as i am doing them 8 1/2 x 11 they will fit into page protectors. 

 I found some white with red paper so that was my base. The quotation just jumped at me from the beginning, not sure where it came from, but red is often associated with passion. I had an agreement with myself , NO HEARTS. Everyone has hearts. I can't stand to be the same...

after I did this I added a little more doodles and undoubtedly will add more. But it's a start.  And now I need a January page. I'm thinking black and white with tiny touches of each color.

Cat Hand, book of Color

Starting Cat Hand's 2021 Book of Color series. So far, I have the cover done; maybe. I keep adding little things to it, but it's basically a multi colored collage of all the colors of the rainbow. 

I will probably add other colors if other colors are chosen. The first one is red for January. I have been gathering scraps of this and that of colored collage. I think it will be fun.

Here's the first video about making the cover.




The whole cover. This will be a great challenge. Not the only thing I will be doing, but a little bit of structure, and challenge.

And using up "stuff". I gather interesting bits of stuff, and I'm getting them organized, so it will be easier for me to use them up. 

Keep breathing.
