Hello there! You find me, midweek, in a bit of a tangle over white space. On the one hand, as a clean and simple scrapbooker, I love it. It makes my heart sing. I am delving happily into the new book on my desk "White Space is Not Your Enemy" with gay abandon - though this sentence, italicised at regular intervals, is beginning to grate just a smidgen. Wouldn't "White Space is Your Best Friend" be a more soothing and, well, amicable mantra?
On the other hand, in Alisa's Ode to Nature class, the activity this week is to fill a whole page in colour. All of it. Every last bit. And I am in a blue white funk. Which colours? You mean, the entire background as well? Supposing I'm halfway through and don't like it? Covering the watercolour paper with my doodley honeysuckle was fun, but I confess to quite liking monchrome...
Hopefully by Friday, I'll have worked something out - probably by trial and with plenty of errors. Mind you, I've spotted one or two of the latter in the aforementioned book. (Have editors gone out of fashion?) Somebody please tell me I'm not alone in thinking that the placeholder text Lorem Ipsum is Latin and not, as the authors claim, Greek.
But I procrastinate. Time to take a deep breath and load a brush with pink. Wish me luck, everyone!
