I think I'm starting to get this
Art Journaling thing.
Lately, I've had
no muse
to speak of
and
have been rethinking
why I am doing "this".
"This" means art related
marketing, etc.
My wheels are really turning
these days as I approach 50.
Thanks to an incredible therapist
and the timing just being right
to receive, hear, whatever
you want to call it,
I am figuring things out.
Love.
The short is answer is
I make art
because I love it.
End of story.
No going into the studio
if I'm not feeling the love.
Do something else I love that day.
Here are several
art journal pages in process.
NOW
I am finding the process
cathartic and highly valuable.
I'm using random stuff
that's laying all
over my floor and table.
The page is driven by my emotion,
not by technique or
trying to be pretty.
Altho, as I become
more practised
at collage composition,
they can't help but
be pretty
every once in awhile.
teehee.
This one has some added
pen work.
Not quite finished yet.
Using random shizz
laying everywhere.
I am such a slob in here.
I sanded the game card.
There's a few rub ons there,
a cut up stamp,
handmade papers
and a Blues Guitar!!
I had so much fun!!!
I will leave you with
my new mantra:
I Love You
I'm sorry
Please Forgive Me
Thank you.
Because I deserve it.
Because I deserve to be happy.
And so do you.
xoS
love. love the journal page (saw the guitar right away!) love your new mantra.
