As I have began to explore my creative side I decided to do some work on my BOS. I hear / read about a LOT of people who wont get started on theirs because they want it to be perfect. I was like that for a long time myself. Then I figured I might as well just do it or it would never get done. I gave myself permission to not be perfect and to make mistakes. This is a perfect example of that. Not that it was a mistake I just changed my mind. If you have seen the pictures of my BOS Then you will recognize (maybe) these next two photos. These are how the pages originally were done and after a time I decided I wanted to change them. Today I am sharing with you first of the pages.
I liked the page well enough but later I found this wonderful picture and I wanted to use it in my book. I put it in but it never felt right.
It felt like I had just thrown it in there. So last week I decided to do something about it. I very carefully removed it from the original page. Then I decided to paint the background kind of like space. First black and then specks of all different colors. You can see the flecks better in the last photo. I then pasted on the image and I am very happy with how it turned out.
And here is a close up of the new page
Hope you enjoyed and as always feel free to leave a comment with a link to any Masterpiece you would like to share.
That is really nice. Good work!
oh thank you!
Very nice! What an incredible BOS you are building!
awe Thanks
What a difference with a different background! Wonderful!
One of my favorite quotes is “Perfect is the enemy of good” (paraphrase of something originally written by Voltaire) but I often think of it this way:
“Perfect is the enemy of DONE”. It always seems to be true for me!
Agreed! I always say I don’t believe in perfect but I like your saying so much more!
