This journal page has been in various states of creation for, at the very least, a week. I just haven’t “felt it” every time I went to create. In addition, I was sick for a couple of days.
I find it amazing how quickly we can get out of a good habit, especially since picking up a new “bad” or unhealthy one is so easy.
Today I set my mind free of an end product and just created without constraint.
I was impulsive and carefree…
It was glorious!
Nothing like waiting to the last minute or the final hour to work on the Art Journal Journey theme for this month… TIME
Honestly I wasn’t working directly towards the theme but after placing the focal image down the idea that she was in a hurry came to mind. Then it was just a point of find the right words to fit her look.
I find it ironic that the happens to be an ermine on the page….part of the weasel family…often associated with being sneaky. Fun how things work out sometimes.
Several weeks ago I mentioned an upcoming article but wasn’t at liberty to discuss until now…
It’s here! My complementary copy of the Summer 2015 edition of Sew Somerset.
Last September I was approached by an editor of Sew Somerset about my fabric collage cards I had listed on etsy. She asked if I’d send some to her for possible publication. You betcha! (sorry my Minnesota is showing) So I sent off a dozen cards and didn’t hear anything more until February when I get an email requesting that I write an article to go along with the cards they planned on publishing. YES!!
I am in absolute awe of how lovely they made the layout.
The closeups and color combinations…wow! And that is why those people are pros!!
All in all I have 5 pages! Amazing….I’m thrilled! Seriously thrilled!!
I want to thank Sew Somerset for publishing my words and art. It’s very uplifting to have asked to be a part of this wonderful publication.
