After the handmade tape strips of the last post I had a play with some
bought Washi tape.
The edges looked a bit stark and bare so I added some inky lines!
I did this in my map journal where I only use red, white and black.....I also try and keep some of the map showing................I actually find working in this journal quite hard! In my "normal" journals if I do something I don't like or it doesn't work out I can just paint or gesso over it.....in this one as I want to keep the map showing this is not so easy!
I was talking to some friends the other day about that left brain/right brain thing where you say the colour the word is written in rather than the actual word........so here is my version....BLACKbird written in red!!
Apparently it's called a Stroop Test
I even wrote in my own hand on this page ......I STILL find that hard to do!

I love love the blackbird and the writing around his body. The red and black is so effective and I love how you keep some of the map showing. Great pages and I need some washi tape, oh no more shopping lol. Tracy x x
Love it, love it, love it!
we all hate our own handwriting, don't we? I think yours looks great on this page though.
Will be humming the song all night now :)
This page is great and now i can't get that song out of head :)
That is fantastic Sue, I hate my handwriting too !!
Really really cool page.
Your play with Washi is great.
Love your work Sue. xoxo
Great - I love black red and white too. Bloody song going round me 'ed!!!
BTW what's black, white and red all over?
A newspaper.
Doesn't work so well written does it??
There is another answer but it may (no it WILL) offend!!!!!

Totally love this, I must be the only person who doesn't own any washi tape.. must rectify that soon!
this color combo is unbeatable!! really love what you created!
ooo your pages speak to me on many levels dear Sue!
Wonderful and interesting and inspiring!
Washi tape is taking the world by storm ;)
Oh and why is it hardly anyone likes their own handwriting...I think yours is really super!
oxo
AND that song is one of my all time favorites :)
I love it! you have great handwriting too! I had never heard of that stroop test .... but I have heard that some people see certain words in a certain color. Now wouldn't that be distracting?
Gorgeous, Sue - and I do find the word blackbird hard to say just because of the colour - it really does look wrong - weird1
gorgeous ...and your handwriting looks really, really good, you should use it more often!
