Monday Concertina Sketchbook Collage - August

A pink and orange combo always captures my attention with its playful energy. 

​Augusts concertina sketchbook was a joy to put together. I decided to go with hot pinks and oranges in a patchwork layout of blocks and stripes. 

The materials I gathered are repurposed packaging, a postcard, bags, tidbits of painted papers and a few paste paper too.

​Pink and orange are a great color combo in the garden too. The photo on the left is from Harkness Memorial State Park. I took a walk there this week and the cutting garden was amazing. They change it up a little each year with different color and plant combinations but it is always lovely. The other two photos are of  my garden. A light pink cosmos and a cactus zinnia mixing with orange cosmos.
