MMMJP #13 on 7 July 2025

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

why: After a vacation trip to Niagara Falls, some forts, the Finger Lakes and Chautauqua areas of New York State plus a weekend trip to southern IL and parts of St. Genevieve, Jefferson, St. Louis and St. Charles counties of MO, I'm able to take some time today to come up with a new design in My Mondrian Mondays Journal notebook. Not much of Mondrian's influence or even Frank Lloyd Wright's in this one. I started with the top left and top right unusual shapes and then proceeded from there.  

when: MMMJP or My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page #13 will be published on July 7, 2025 evening. 

what: Citrus Colors with a dash of cappuccino!



how-to & vendor notes:

1. journaling notebook with elastic band closure; 80 peach grid/graph sheets; distributed by Dollar General Stores

2. variety of colored pencils = Marvy Uchida, Crazy Art, Crayola; shades or tones are Cappuccino, Red Umber, Deep Raspberry, Orange, Yellow, etc.

1D. Polkadoodles Cardmaking & Crafting & Scrapbooking Challenge; new; Anything Goes; MY entry is my 13th installment in my journaling notebook that started by influences of Piet Mondrian's geometric and limited color palette paintings.
