Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello, I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy former teacher and former caregiver who has been slowly transitioning into a different chapter(s) in life. In July, it will be a year since we stopped being weekday afternoon caregivers for a young girl that is considered our honorary granddaughter. We started babysitting when she was just about 48 hours old!! The new parents don't have any relatives in town so they bestowed honorary grandparent status to us! <3 But caregiving also overlapped with my mom's last couple of years. As her needs increased, sometimes my husband and I had to split locations yet sometimes we'd go together and take our little girl with us--along with our dog! sigh....At the end of August, it will be 2 years since mom's been gone.
where: This last entry in My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page notebook is not-related to any design team challenge blog commitment. Some cropped photo images of several Piet Mondrian's paintings from 1913-1919 can be seen at the end of this posting.
when: Monday, May 11, 2026 for #38.
why: 14-15 months ago I started a journal notebook dedicated to geometric designs influenced mostly by the color block/grid line composition paintings of the late Dutch artist Piet Mondrian.
what: #38, the final entry, using my favorite colors of pinks and purples + neutrals
how: outer shape created by tracing a paper doily
1. journaling notebook has 80 sheets of peach grid/graph paper; w/ elastic band closure; I used every other page most of the way through, but I didn't get 40 entries, only 38 due to inks bleeding through.
2. four interior spaces within the design left blank/white like Mondrian
3. black perimeter and interior dividing lines like Mondrian
4. irregular color blocks/spaces like a few of Mondrian's paintings that I've seen
5. new this time = flowery, scalloped paper doily overall design shape + using neutral striped blocks instead of a solid neutral (like the 1 black colored pencil rectangle)
6. outer black line + 3 black striped blocks = Zebra clickart black non-smudge retractable pen
7. three light brown/caramel striped blocks = Zebra clickart brown non-smudge retractable pen
8. thin black lines drawn = Paper Mate's Ink Joy gel pen in black
9. two pink, one red-orange rust, two purple + one black colored pencils = stash box = half of them are Marvy Uchida, the other half are Crazy Art
