True Colors Tip In Page Forest Floor (Somerset's True Colors Book)

The forest floor provides the ingredients that the trees need to live and to grow, the trees, in turn, provide things that the floor needs. The forest floor is littered with leaves, fallen branches, acorns or other seeds, and even fallen trees. It's a spongy mass of organic material. It's what trees are made of — but it isn't wood. It is a complex system of many interacting components all of which are necessary to support the creation of new trees.

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."
