Going wild

The titel of my page is: "Going wild with colors"!

I immediately associated "going wild" with wild animals. First I was thinking of zebras or wolves but then I remembered a trip to Yellowstone and the bisons there. For me they are the perfect example of wild animals, strong and impressive. 

And here the reminder:

We would like to invite you all to join our challenge.

We will post the word(s) of the week on Sunday and then we all have one week (till Saturday evening) to create our approach to this word(s). If you want to share your work with all of us (and that would be really wonderful) then mail it to us till Saturday evening. We will post yours and our two pages on Sunday for everyone to see.

It would really be great if you would all share your pages with us.

So, just create a page, take a photo, reduce the size so that it fits into one e-mail and send it to us (thejournalchallenge@gmail.com).

The words of this week will be: “Sweet 'n' Tasty”!

We really look forward to your approaches and hope to receive lots of mails.

Have a nice and creative week.

Hello out there!

No, we are not lazy and yes, we haven't posted anything this week.

Why not?

That’s easy to answer.

We had a fabulous idea last week. We came together on Sunday and posted our letter and discussed the word(s) of the week and on Tuesday or Wednesday we had the idea to share the word with all of you. No, not in our regular way but before we draw it.

Letter

We are here again!
Sorry for the long delay!

Our challenge for this week was "a letter". I took the letter G. My inspiration were the first letters of a chapter in old books. They are big and heavily ornamented. My letter did not turn out this way - it looks more like a G with a lot of doodeling. But nevertheless I'm rather happy with it.

I tried two different approaches this week and I couldn't decide which one to show on the blog. So I will show you both. 
My first page was a grid were I thried out how various letters look and then colored them. 

My second page is just a single letter which I tried to decorate with climbing roses. Good intention but it looks more like some string of light attached to the M, which is good also. I am just glad that it looks good. I wasn't sure about that when I drew it.
