Live in your strength

I’m finally getting around to posting an art journal page I created last weekend.

live in your strength

I challenged myself to work outside my comfort zone, using colors and combos I seldom gravitate towards. It was a good challenge. It made my stretch my creativity while still working within my general style.

live in your strength

Recently I’ve noticed that when I go to peruse through a completed art journal or altered book from my collection, I tend to grab one that has something interesting peeking out from the pages. Bits of lace, fibers, buttons or beads…you can find them all on my bookshelf. To that end I decided this page needed a bit of movement. Besides, my handmade paper beads fit the color scheme

live in your strength

This tea tag quote spoke to me along with the butterfly pin.

Think of the Monarch…so fragile yet has the amazing strength and endurance to migrate 2500 miles each year. If it worried about how fragile it was it would never go anywhere or do anything. It would not live.

Be strong in your fragility.

    Nice page Halle. I think this page is a great adventure. Moving outside of your usual is a great adventure for an artist, at least I think so. This is a gorgeous page. I love the beads and the butterfly and the bit of paper lace. Thanks for joining us with this beautiful page. Hugs-Erika

    I love this idea It leaves me thinking about what doesn’t look like strength at all but is actually what strength looks like :)

    -that made sense in my head… ;)

    I love this spread, Halle. Not especially one I would expect from you, but it is wonderful.

    Your choice of colors spoke to me, and those beads make me want to make some for myself. They are GREAT.

    I appreciate this beautiful unique entry about hidden strength you shared with us at Art Journal Journey. Hope you aren’t snowed in.
