    Time…there is never enough

    As Labor Day approaches, so does the start of school. We are attempting to ring out every last bit of enjoyment and family time as possible in addition to orientations, job hunting, checkups, back to school shopping and the rest of the usual business. We’ve been creating memories…not art.

    Although I did do a little bit of art journalling this week. I was catching up on laundry from a weekend away had me in my art space quite a bit.20140822_6829

    My heART journal seemed to need some attention.  I’m still at the bright tones of summer but I’m sure soon I’ll shift along with the season. I’ve already seen several maple trees turning and dropping leaves. 20140822_6830

    The little scrap about the mystery of time seemed to fit my thoughts of late… It’s funny how time is a constant but depending on the situation it can feel as if the hands on the clock are slowing down or traveling at warp speed.

    Feeling inspired

    Ever have a day and you wake up feeling inspired? That was how I felt this morning. I popped out of bed, started coffee, had a little quiet time and yoga. I headed off to the basement with my mind set to create.

    time slips away

    I wasn’t planning on using this journal but since it was prepped and ready to go with the background that was speaking to me at the moment…I went for it.

    prepped journal

    As I started painting in green…my muse said…nope. Turquoise is the color of the day. I covered up the green and was pleased with the subtle shading the layers had created.

    The page came together so quickly…I was amazed.

    teadyed lace

    The last little accent I added was a bit of tea dyed lace. I carefully cut around the medallion. It was perfect for the spot.

    I don’t often get really excited about my pages but this one has me smiling!
