Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
where: this is a non-design team related commitment; essentially just for fun!
when: created on Monday May 18 and blogged on Tuesday May 19, 2026
why: last Monday, May 11th was my last entry in My Mondrian Mondays Journal notebook that used famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian's color blocking and black grid divider line compositions for my influence. This new sketchbook will be packed with mixed media experimentations. And it was just random ideas to start with the swirls and then go to a large floral shape using the gel-wax like highlighter....I did stick with a pink monochrome with gold metallic; there was supposed to be some silver glitter in a white acrylic paint but it not showing....
what: A Storm of Pink; art journal page #1
Pic 1 =
Pic 2 = flower on the left was made with pink gel type highlighter with red-purple glitter glue stamens; then a gold glitter acrylic paint flower shape; then a bright pink glitter glue flower shape w/ red-purple glitter glue stamens
Pic 3 = gold glitter acrylic paint streaks and also silver glitter acrylic (looking white ) paint streaks ; in the background, three pink tone colored pencils were held together and drawn in circular swirls across the page for the first/foundational layer
how:
1. sketchbook of 30 medium weight sheets = Tree House Pad & Paper, Inc.
2. three pink tone colored pencils used for circular swirls = stash box
3. reddish-purple/magenta glitter glue = I Magine
4. bright lighter pink glitter glue = I Magine
5. pink gel highlighter (1 of 3 colors set) = I believe it was by Creative Devotion (pink, silver, gold)
6. gold glitter paint = Plaid's Folk Art Extreme Glitter Gold acrylic paint
7. silver glitter paint = Crafter's Closet Art Basics Acrylic Silver Glitter Paint (not showing as silver glitter but more white on the white paper)...hmm...
8. the glues and paints did cause the paper to dry a bit warped and that's affected the scanning; causing gray shadow 'rays' or streaks...sigh.....
