    I found my journal!

    the wallI can’t begin to tell you how annoyed I have been with myself for the past week or so. I misplaced my kira-kira journal.  Since I haven’t started a new one yet after finishing my cursed journal, it was my only journal space.  Yesterday, I stumbled upon it. I sat down with no idea in mind… just started with blue hues.

    A week or so ago I picked up a bunch of rubber stamps at Goodwill…one of them was a brick pattern. I stamped the bricks all over the page for texture. Then I was feeling I needed to use pink. As soon as I spritzed the pink along the top to make it run, I thought of Pink Floyd: The Wall.  There was no need to go any further. I just needed to write the words.

    Dream Big

    dream bigI’ve reached the end of my cursed journal.   This is on the very end of the book.

    I realized that I used this same sentiment earlier in the journal but it seems to be one that comes to mind a lot for me.

    We must dream big or we will never reach for something just beyond our fingertips.

    cursed journalI think I’m going to leave the outside covers of the book as is at least for now.  They are a nice shade of teal with a geometric pattern that is pleasing to the eye.

    I always love the edges of an altered book or journal. All thick and wonky from paint and glue.

    After the hard start for this journal…making me feel as if it was cursed. Seriously…the first few pages of this book are awful. Luckily I skipped around so they are interspersed with pleasing pages.

    Back to the journal

    promise meIt’s been a while since I’ve sat down and worked in one of my art journals. Or at least it feels that way.

    This was a quick page I did one morning while feeling inspired. It felt really good to be painting again.

    I’ve been preoccupied with crafting for an upcoming craft show. My focus has been expanding my inventory…not art for the sake of art. 🙂
