Little colour swatches to go in my little Filofax, because I'm very organised in my creativity.

Nikki's hands holding a small sketchbook open to a drawing made using wax pastels. An old 2000s-style computer with yellowing plastic sits on a dark brown desk in a room with orange walls. Climbing vines with bright green leaves have entered the room through an open window to the left of the desk and are growing throughout the space, draping over the window frame and computer. There is a dark blue border around the sketch, with light blue text that reads "WHEN THE WEB CRASHES DOWN, WILL MY LIFE BE BETTER?".
Inspired by the song “Starvation” by AURORA
“Come on over, take a bite of the last apple here on Earth
Will the virtual mind become stronger than mine?
And when my ego dies, will I stay here forеver?
When the wеb crashes down, will my life be better?”

A painting made with Neocolor II water pastels. A grid of three evenly spaced horizontal lines and three unevenly spaced vertically lines divide the page. The sky that fills the grid is blue or red or purple with a few clouds. Four orbs of varying sizes appear in a curving diagonal line, their bottoms halves in shadow. Their surfaces are also red and blue and purple, with the colours changing in each segment divided by the grid lines.

Art journal spread with a blue background with white stencilied images on top. Journaling is a poem I wrote The four stanzas were hand-written on brown paper and cut out to glue onto the spread: fall inhales summer's last breath. invigorated, he blasts a fierce gale dispatching summer's spent stipules which spring had long ago convened. The page is covered diagonally (upper left to lower right) with stylized leaves, flowers and buds.
From a year-long course: Wanderlust 2025. Teacher @dinawakley is fabulous, always sharing tips, defining art concepts and celebrating freedom in creating. Fall inspired me to write a poem. (In ALT.) #mixedmedia #paint #acrylic #neocolorII #artjournal #poetry #fall #deepviolet #orange #turquoise
