Napkin Journal Art – #4 – “Life’s a garden…dig it”

This is the 4th in my napkin journal. I purchased the journal at Michaels and replaced the signatures inside of it with watercolor paper. It holds up better to different mediums. This was so fun to do. I am very resistant to fall coming. It is early October and I am not ready to let go of spring. I used Caran D’Ache water soluble crayons. When I use this product, I do so with a bit of trepidation. I love watercolor and am very comfortable with it but these are not as easy for me to be free with. I love the napkin with all the birdhouses and flowers. I hope that you enjoy the video.
