Buddha and serenity book.
This week the colors on SoC are, 'Charcoal Grey and Pink.'
Charcoal grey, to me, seemed like the right color to balance the pink and define it in a very elegant manner. The grey, cloud ridden morning on a rainy day needed some pink to bring a hint of freshness to it. So, they really need each other, I thought.
As I am in a phase where I love Buddha paintings, I thought, a grey and pink watercolor Buddha would look serene.
I really loved seeing some of the mini books on the net and I wanted to try my hand making one.
I took an old brochure which was made of glossy paper and folded it to make a tiny booklet.
I painted charcoal grey and shades of pink on it. Bits of the prints show through in places.
Color grey evokes peace, calm...without any turbulence.
So I wrote, 'Peace Come From Within and Peace Flows Like A River. '
I stuck shiny sequins, wooden button, bits of paper glued on to resemble ferns, greenery, shells, flowers etc.
This is my first attempt and I really liked making it!
Hope all of you enjoy it as much as I did!
Peace to all of you!
My little book, 6.5cm x 3 cm, is my offering to serenity, peace.
Links to my wonderful groups, full of creative souls doing our bit to find joy, color and serenity.
