Welcome to Becca's Quest For Love and Country Creativity!
why: This is my next entry in My Mondrian Mondays Journaling notebook. #21 is influenced by three of Mondrian's paintings with two in the same decade of 1910-1920 and the other coming later in the 1940s. There are other muses too from some current challenge blog themes: smokey blue & sage green; another with blues, beiges and browns; stamping "Into the Earth"; use colored pencils and non-card project. This is the first page entry to have some stamping along with a geometric design!!!
when: #21 was made on Monday September 22, 2025.
