MMMJP #23 geometric design on 6 Oct 2025

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

why: Instead of harvest/autumn season influence in my next journal notebook geometric design, I had this idea of Christmas peppermints scattered throughout so that's the direction for #23. This posting is a personal series for a journaling notebook idea that I started in March 2025.  Piet Mondrian, famous Dutch painter, is well-known for his geometric designs that had black and white spaces and color blocks. He also did some abstract overlapping style compositions and landscapes. This time I wanted different sizes and shapes so there are some 3 x 3, 1 x 5, 1 x 1, etc. I also wanted the circle peppermint shapes to be bold so that's why they were done in marker. 

when: #23 My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page on Monday October 6, 2025.

what: Project #1: Candy Christmas Crunch Geometric Design


how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. Dollar General Corporation = journaling notebook with notched graph sheets and elastic band closure

2. Zebra Clickart = gray retractable marker pen

3. Arteza = red alcohol dual-tip marker

4. Art Skills = green permanent dual-tip marker

5. stash = black ink pen, mechanical pencil and variety of colored pencils (Marvy Uchida watercolor, Crayola, Crazy Art in black, several greens and reds)

6. Crayola = lime green marker
