Meaning: It’s ok to care about aesthetics.
Shine bright, like a diamond.
I’ve always struggled to balance form vs function, but it’s ok to focus on form over function from time to time. I wanted something stunning to represent the beauty in us all.

Started: March 2026

Just a bunch of ink blooms on a page, like acrylic pouring.
Planning Notes
- This is going to be a test of if this is even possible in a book like this. I want to drop ink onto water to have it bloom but I want it to cover the whole page.
- I want both spreads that surround this one gessoed. That should help with the warping and water on the raw paper of this spread.
Progress Notes
- Worked way better than expected! I used lots of water and ink after gessoing the spreads on either side and it worked really well. I forgot to add the iridescent gold but plan to add the gold after.
- One note, the ink is really watery (especially with the added water) and soaked through the page creases into other spreads. Luckily, the other spreads were gessoed so it’s not a big deal. Some spreads stuck together and it just took regessoing to fix it.
