It’s taken a while but I’m getting the urge to create at least in my art journal.
In fact, this was the second page I created on Sunday afternoon.
While searching through my stash I found some watercolor color experiments. The colors spoke to me in that fall sort of feel.
The lined page to the left was a shiny paper from junk mail. I didn’t want to cover the lines but at the same time didn’t like the shine. I used some glimmer mists to knock it back.
Yesterday was a rough day for me. I was very emotional which is not my usual state of being. I’m a very stoic person…I’m Norwegian raised in the mid-west. It takes a lot to crack my shell.
I did what I like to call a mind dump on my page. I like to write very messy and somewhat layer the words. This makes it difficult to read. This is purposeful. I need to get it out but I don’t want to go back and relive it later when I’m paging through my journal.
I saved this label from a beer my neighbor shared. (using as my drink reference as well…it’s a twofer) The beer was really interesting. You could taste a hint of orange and copious amounts of honey. I’m not sure I loved it but I did love the label.
It’s not my favorite page in the journal but it served its purpose.
Today is a work day of course with some grocery shopping on the way home.
