#2. Color Swatches

A few weeks ago I was made this color sample page on my journal. I take the color combinations sample from my old clothes (the green one) and my mom's clothes (the other one). I just making the sample by taking a similar color using watercolor on some heavy paper. And then made into some color card which inspired from this site.

Then I scan it to get the palette code of these colors. And I also write the colors names that I use to make these colors on the back of the card. So I could make the same color again later.

Well, this post is just the second post of the '100 Ideas' with art journaling. It will take a looong time for me to finish it :(
I was very busy with the office work and some other work. And I get a really bad monday yesterday with that office work and cough that doesn't heal for these 3 days. Not a good start for this week I guess :(
I hope your week is much better than me.
have a lovely week everyone!
xo.

And this is the second idea I'd chosen today. Have you tried these things to do list? I told you again, it was fun! :)

Have a nice day ! ♥

Art Journal

I'd been very busy last week till this afternoon. So tonight I decided to have a relaxing time, accompanied by a cup of cappuccino+caramel syrup, take some chitchat with my boyfriend by phone [but he's very busy tonight :(, make me little bit dissapointed.... ], and do something with my new journal.

I bought this journal a few weeks ago from Kineruku, little library and book store in my town. This journal was actually a visual diary pocket-book, made by Tarlen Handayani, one of very talented crafter in my town. She create a lot of beautiful handmade notebook. You can found her gorgeous works here or here.
Each series of this visual diary has a beautiful photograph on the cover and has a brief story about the cover on the last page.

I really love my new journal. I want to use it as an art journal but I have no idea what should be written or drawn. So I start reading about art journaling from one of my favorite blog here, and I found a link to this very useful blog post. It's about 100 ideas things to do with journal, and it's really fun!
I've download it, cut and roll it into small rolls, put in the tin can and pick it randomly. And this is the first thing I've chosen :)

I'll post the result a.s.a.p.
Please try the '100 Ideas', and have fun with it.
Hope you have a lovely Monday, everyone!
