guest post- a look at a simple painted beach journal from Jill Berry

I have asked a few of my creative friends to help me out with my blog here and there during my time with a new baby and today's guest post comes to you from Jill Berry

JBerryBJ1

Paint the colors of the beach, horizontally on a long piece of paper


JBerryBJ2

Scrape the paint upwards, toward the sky


JBerryBJ3

Fold in half, softly, to transfer the paint to the other side


JBerryBJ4

Add salt or alcohol while the paint is wet to add texture


JBerryBJ5

fold and stitch into a soft cover journal.
