I particularly love this page and can't wait to try this again with different tangles and colors. Maybe this would look even better with some gesso and added dimension with colored pencils and pastels. We will see though.
Update: So I decided to work on this piece a bit more tonight and have loved what has come of it. For the rest of the detail I used water color crayons and normal colored pencils. I first used the water color crayons and a water brush to add color where I saw fit. This color was used to add dimension and interest to the piece. I focused mainly on the floral elements of the work for color. Then I went back with colored pencil and filled in where color needed to be increased. In the flower I used a darker purple to add more dimension to the petals. The swirls were colored over in yellow to give them a glowy feel. Then I went over the stem of the leaf floral with red to deepen the black color and add more color into the piece. To finish off, I used a dark blue and a purple pencil to add a simple boarder around the piece to symbolize its completion. The last thing that could be added to this work is journaling, which will probably come with time.
