This weeklong page was my attempt to try some doodling. I had this very colorful background and then added some butterflies and since they were doodled, I decided to add them all along the edges..
Here it is empty:
I intended to leave them empty, but as the week went along, I colored them.
here’s the left page:
And the right side:
And here’s the filled page:
I never intended to fill them but I love love love the way this page ended up. That’s the great thing about this process, I almost always adore the final product.

Wow! As much as I liked it when I saw the b&w, the coloring really did add to it. It’s lovely!
