Create

I’m not much of a drinker, but I love these photos. Aren’t the colors and textures great?

I trace circles on the photos using drinking glasses and cut them out.

Then I glue the circles into my journal.

Next, I punch out two sizes of dots.

I glue the dots onto the edges of the shapes, using the bigger ones on the smaller circle and vice versa.

I like what I’ve created so far. But the circles are floating by themselves. I add some lines to tie them together.

Then I draw wavy lines that anchor the circles to the page.

Next, I doodle a pattern of lines and circles to the connectors.

I draw some alternating half circles on the wavy lines.

Then I use short lines to fill them in. Doesn’t it look like a twisting ribbon?

I like the design so far, but it needs a bit of sparkle. I add some white dots, which help your eye move around the composition.
