Glance at the sun.
See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth's greenings.
Now, think.
- Hildegard von Bingen

Words and Watercolor

So I have decided to dedicate tomorrow to water color. I don't have much experience with painting of any sort so it will be fun to experiment! You can see my recent purchases to the left, so I will post some of my hopefully interesting paintings soon! I hope to capture some of the colors of the water, as well as the texture of water.













Also, I learned about a website today that will take images from Flickr and use them to form words. Here's my name:
A Block Letter L L i e63
I feel like this could be a great tool for a website, blog, or just as inspiration for a project. I would have loved having this tool when we created the large, cardboard letters. They could have served as ideas for the unique formation of letter forms.

Using kuler (shown to me by Claire) here is a possible color scheme for my book. 
I also was browsing the Booklyn website after visiting the Spencer Research Library today, and found this image that could serve as possible inspiration for my own book. Again, I love the colors the Lagoon has given me the opportunity to work with.
