Indian Festival |
Since this summer I have been involved in a round robin journal exchange. This is my fifth and final spread in the journals. I am particularly fascinated by the colors of India. They are so vivid and when I found an ad in a travel magazine I thought that I needed to do a spread to capture the flavor of those colors. I also had a conversation with a friend Christmas Day about orange. My friend has a strong dislike for the color. Perhaps I took that as a challenge or maybe subconsciously I was driven to create something with a dominant orange.

Many people hate orange. I am not sure why. As a textbook designer in a previous life, whenever we tried to use that color it was shot down in a New York minute! Your journal spread is lovely and I love the colors!
I love orange- in fact I was looking through many of the painted papers I have done and some older journal spreads and orange is pretty dominate. I love the saturated color in this John.
Orange is not a favorite of mine but you use it brilliantly! I love this spread and the elephants are wonderful.
I LOVE orange, and love that you use it prominently in so many of your beautiful works. But, this goes beyond the orange, this is a color feast! A gorgeous layout and fabulous design. Can you tell I like it? ;o)
I love orange and I LOVE this journal spread. It just vibrates!
Thanks everyone. This spread was great fun! Happy New Year!
