viviva watercolors

viviva watercolors

Hey lovelies.

Today I want to share with you a unique set of watercolors that I was so kindly sent from Viviva Colors all the way from India! These watercolors come in a little booklet they like to call “Colorsheets” and my gosh they are so dang portable!

Now I rarely review things that are sent to me that aren’t scrapbook-related, but these colorsheets intrigued me so, simply for how portable they are. Now I’m no watercolor artist, but I thought these would be a great palette to take with me whenever I go on one of my long trips. If you know, I love journaling my trips while on the go and have an entire course about it called Geoscrapping.

In the past, I have taken my Jane Davenport watercolor tin with me on my trips. That tin in pretty small and compact, but my gosh do these sheets put those tins to shame! The colorsheets come in this really slim little booklet. Each booklet has a total of 16 colors, plus a built in mixing palette. Loves, this paper mixing palette is completely reusable too! Simply wipe clean and use again. It’s magic.

There are two colors per page, front and back, with a piece of vellum tracing paper between each set, so they don’t stick to one another. Under each watercolor, there is a place for a single color swatch so you know what each color looks like. I will admit, the color palette itself was okay. I feel a few of the colors are a bit too similar in color, like the reds, oranges and yellows, but overall, the colors are very vibrant and super pigmented! And I mean super pigmented, so much so that I had pink all over my fingers. That was super surprising to me, especially for watercolors. But I’m definitely not complaining. Vibrant colors is good!

Again, I’d like to mention that I’m not a watercolor artist. I know very little about them, so the technical stuff I can’t comment on. But to me, these colors went down really well and mixed together like a dream. Honestly, I was super surprised by these sheets! I would definitely recommend them to any mixed media artist or art journaler, especially if compactness and portability is a deciding factor. I think they’d make the cutest little gift for any budding artist. Definitely check them out at vivivacolors.com!

I really like these prompts about things you collect or what's around you currently. Liz's prompt wasn't exactly about listing the things I gather, but I twisted it that way because it made more sense to list out all of the things that I'm currently collecting and gathering for myself, instead of things that are visibly around me. Because these are the things that truly have my attention at the moment.

Happy Monday loves. xx

I had to blur this bit out because being present with how I'm feeling unearthed some hard things through my journaling. It's a bit personal and I don't feel like sharing that right now. But it had me thinking of all the things we carry and at the end of the day how I need to have faith that everything will be alright in the end.

Happy Friday loves. I hope you're all well. xx

I love currently lists. I write one up every month on my blog called "Things I'm Loving" and it details all the things I enjoyed each month. These are just lovely little snapshots of your life RIGHT NOW and they are some of my favorite lists to look back on.

I kept this spread really simple and printed out my list on some vellum. I think that pink and white striped paper frames my list so well. xx

I made this cut file from gold glitter paper because I felt like this page needed a statement—just a reminder that I'm still here and that's beautiful. And ultimately something to be so grateful for. I like that it's so big and bold. I then wrote my gratitude list on that @daphanesdiary card that I tucked into that pocket. xx

Anyway, lots of emotions spilling over onto this page. There's no better way to express them than scribbling them onto a page and then covering it up! Hard feelings don't always have to be seen. xx
This month, I'm taking @lizelayne's Here: Pay Atte This month, I'm taking @lizelayne's Here: Pay Attention & Be Astonished class. I just wanted to share my first entry in my journal. I'm finally using this lovely journal I made in my The Snippet Journal class and it's been good. I'm definitely a few days behind, but I'm taking my time with this course. I'm going through a lot emotionally, so taking it slow and giving myself grace while working on paying attention to the now has been good so far. I always enjoy Liz's soft, sweet presence, and it's been lovely listening to the lessons over when I need to.

I hope you all are well. xx
