Inspiration has finally taken a hold of me. I’m feeling creative. Feeling the need to express myself or at the very least put paint to paper.
Without knowing the direction I was heading I just grabbed the colors that spoke to me and used my fingers to apply them to the last page in my heART journal. Truth be told, I was covering a seriously hideous background I created quite some time ago. After much rumination on options to save it I realized covering over was the best option.
Next I used washi tape to add interest but I wasn’t done. I have a stash of rub-ons that never seem to work when I want them to be perfect so I’ve taken to using them in backgrounds. That way when the image messes up…it’s perfect. Messy is the look I was going for with these.
Then all of a sudden the words hit me. The page was chaotic yet interesting…just like our journey through life.
Linking up with Art Journal Journey again for the theme Journeys picked by Erika aka BioArtGal.
I don’t think its messy. I think its wonderful. Love your quote, and what a fun shaped journal. I also think you used some excellent colors! Thanks for joining us over at AJJ. Hugs-Erika

Have a great weekend!
This is SO you. I think this has become your signature style, and I love it!
Your pages look really great Halle.
I think whenever you work on top of other layers you end up with added richness and interest. It certainly is the case here.
The quote is oh so true as well.
Happy Friday oxo
