Day 32
August 25: Taming the chaos 
Today I went back into that messy, chaotic swatch page — this time adding in some small details.
Funny thing about chaos: sometimes a little bit of detail work is exactly what brings order to it. Not fixing it, not taming it — just enough structure to let the mess make sense.

I also pasted in one of my new gelli plate pages, one that matched surprisingly well with the swatch. I made a digi version of that page and I'm sharing it with you today to play with on your own page. Would love to see what you come up with.

Download and print

How to save & print your files:
  1. Right-click  (or control click for mac, press and hold on mobile) on the image and choose "Save Image As" (or "Download Image").
  2. Save it to a folder you'll remember — like "Day 1 Journal Files."
  3. Open the saved JPEG and print at 100% / actual size (not "fit to page") so nothing gets cropped or stretched.
  4. Print on whatever paper you're testing today — plain, cardstock, watercolor, whatever's on hand.

Tip: if the image opens directly instead of downloading, just right-click anywhere on it for the save option.
