Street Team Time!


Guess what, peeps!?

I'm actually joining in on the Crusade this month!

It's been several months of challenges since my last confession.

hmmm...

Well, I'm not sure it's a confession, but it IS my interpretation of Michelle's Come Over To the Dark Side challenge. She suggested that we create a journal page, beginning with a black surface. I love black! Especially this month (Michelle is keyed IN, as you know), when so many of my crafts and artworks incorporate black to a major extent.

I was particularly inspired when Michelle pointed out that metallics really pop from a black surface like, in my own words, corn in a microwave!


hmmmm...I don't think that's the best analogy. Perhaps I should just let the page speak for itself. This month, I feel like I'm being visited, in its many forms, by...


...magic!

Love your doodles on black Chris, they really pop! He, and would make a nice repeat pattern on fabric too I think.

I like the use of doodling. It is a cool thing to do. In the Netherlands recently a book was published about the art of doodling! On black it works very well! Helen

I think I have "pen envy"! You're white writing is awesome - I want one of whatever pen you used... The doodles are oustanding on the black background - super cool :-)
