Books of Marks - Centerfold Reveal



The centerfold page has a flap or short page on the right.


Left page with Ascemic writing


The right flap page. "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein


The centerfold with the flap open


The middle page. "The best way to know life is to love many things." - Vincent van Gogh


Oops. It's a good thing this book isn't comprised of text on consecutive pages as I forgot to add collage to the flap. So now the decision. Does every surface have to have collage on it? Or can the background of the page be enjoyed as the main event? Decisions, decisions.

That's a tough decision. But I will say I like it just how you have it. I like all the smudges and swirls and the little pops of color too. Enjoy the sun. hugs-Erika

I really like the colors you've chosen. Very simple and calming. ❤️

It was an alternate color pattern I learned from Valerie Weillmuenster's illumination classes

I'm pleased with how it turned out

How pretty! I also love the colors and the quote is perfect.

I think it's good to leave some spaces. Have a great day, Valerie

That is my thought, too

But so worth it

I like how this is shaping up, even though it is confusing when you write about it.

CJ Kennedy said...

I'm sorry. If there is something you're not clear about, just ask.

I like backgrounds. They often look like the main event to me ;) but it'd be easy enough to add some elements to it, wouldn't it?

CJ Kennedy said...

Yup, real easy to add stuff at a later time.
