I created this journal spread to experiment with different ways to stylize river rocks. At first, I thought I was done at this point. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it needed something else. I wasn’t happy with the contrast between the colors.
So, I grabbed my trusty white pen and added some dots. Ahhh, that looks better! Do you agree?

Photographing Pattern Inspiration
I love finding pattern inspiration wherever I go. On a recent city walk, I found this structure surrounding a stairway. I love the color, especially against the brick wall in the background, and the patterns in the walls. I had a great time walking around it and taking photos from a lot of different angles. Which one is your favorite?
