SWL ~ Art Journal Page #3 ~ Pattern

Time to put together an art journal with fabulous art from our fellow group members!

I'm planning on continuing these page swaps regularly. Some themes might be easy, some might be a little more of a challenge. You are welcome to take the opportunity to experiment and stretch your horizons or to stick to what you are comfortable making.

I'm planning on keeping the size the same across all of the swaps so that we can bind the pages as we see fit, or add them to journals we may already have.

For this swap, I challenge you to create an art journal page somehow relating to a pattern. Do you have a favorite little pattern? How about using pattern(ed) paper for the background? Do you have fabric or thread left from the last pattern you followed? Is there a pattern you've seen for a page you'd like to create? Maybe you just want to make a pattern on your page. Your interpretation of the theme is wide open.

The requirements for your journal page:

• Theme: Pattern
• Size: 5" x 5" (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm)
• Color Palette: Any
• Artistic Medium: Any - collage, paint, pencil, ink, etc. (please do not use sharpies or tape on your journal pages, as they will not retain their look)

Since this is an art journal page and the art we create we do in our image, this page is completely sender's choice. Please leave the back of your page blank in case your partner wants to mount your page and include a note for your partner with at least the swap information, and if it isn't obvious, how your page relates to the theme.

Also, when mailing, do not fold your page! :-)

Any questions? Just ask! Is there a page you would like to have for your journal? Let me know. :-)
