True Colors Tip In Autumn (Somerset's True Colors Book)

5x7 or (A7 size)

We are going to capture the vibrant colors of autumn! As we get into fall, the days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler. Autumn is a season that is filled with vibrant colors. Just think of it - blazing reds, brilliant and burnt oranges, chocolate browns, muted greens, and radiant golden yellows surround us everywhere.

Keats wrote "To Autumn" after enjoying a lovely autumn day; he described his experience in a letter to his friend Reynolds:

"How beautiful the season is now--How fine the air. A temperate sharpness about it. Really, without joking, chaste weather--Dian skies--I never lik'd stubble fields so much as now--Aye better than the chilly green of the spring. Somehow a stubble plain looks warm--in the same way that some pictures look warm--this struck me so much in my Sunday's walk that I composed upon it."


I love the True Colors book & thought we could create our own version. Without the book being lost in the mail, or paying postage for a book. I would be upset to lose one page, but a whole book would kill me. A series of one page & one color (or color combo) at a time. There are so many neat color combos out there....and so little time!

Create about a 5x7in (A7 size) art journal page that can be added to an existing journal.

Any artistic medium is allowed for this swap; Collages, Inks, Paints (Acrylics, Watercolors, etc). Stickers or digital Images allowed, but only as an added touch. You will have 1 partner. You will only need to complete one side as many people glue them onto another page. Sign the front as you would any piece of artwork you are proud of. Make a small tag with your information on it to be included with the page (can be attached or separate). When you receive a tip-in page, you open your book and cut 2 pages out of it about ½ to ¾ inches from the gutter. Then you glue the inside of each page, slide your tip-in page into the space that has the glue and sandwich it in between. Now you have a new page to your altered book! These are a great way to share end enjoy another's work without the risk of sending your whole book through the mail as you would do in a round robin.".
