I think these are my all-time favourite colours - there's just something about blue and green (especially lime green) that works brilliantly. Anyway, I like them a LOT so that was probably why I reached for these colours from my big set of (84) Neocolour crayons.
This is how I do a lot of my backgrounds - just scribble away in circles, and the results can be really interesting.
Didn't know where this was going so I just began to doodle on the top and add a few simple bits of collage - not pictures in this case so much as segments of colour. By this time the words "now I see" were running around my brain, so I added the eye. It wasn't originally green but Promarkers work really well over photographic images like this, so you can re-colour something to fit with what you're doing.
And then I just wrote my words in the spaces between - not a complicated or "clever" page but its relative simplicity of message and method pleases me. I guess you will be able to tell that I was in a calm place when I made this, one of those (fleeting) moments when everything makes sense and you see how you are part of the pattern. It never lasts but its nice while it does.
Sorry this is quite a short post - I'm tired today, especially after this morning's Palm Sunday service! We had a donkey in church who was very sweet and so well behaved, he was a pleasure to have around. We'd planned a procession of witness but it was and still is lashing with rain ..... one of those legendary April showers arriving early!!

I really like seeing how your pages progress. As always your doodling and lettering are wonderful!
What pen,marker do you use to write over your pages? I know with the neocolor crayons it sometimes hard to write over them...
Sorry to hear your procession of witness was aborted. As I said to someone in our congregation - British Summer Time!!!!
A lovely page - both colours and thoughts are inspiring.
Hope this week isn't too tiring for you.

How I always love your pages and your use of color!
Glorious! I adore lime green with anything, really. The fineness of detail always pulls my eye in. Smiled when I read your description of the donkey - more than can be said for some of the congregation, probably :). Lovely to sense your calmness and feeling of rightness about where you are ...
