    The cursed journal

    20130605_2196

    My bad mojo with this journal continues.

    I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites. 20130606_2198

    I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.

    I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.

    However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.

    It’s personal

    personalThe last page in my Watkins journal. Gathered from bits and pieces thrown in a drawer.

    The photo is me from a couple years ago. It was an extra from a scrapbook page…yes, have been known to scrapbook every once in a great while.

    I wrote a personal journal entry on the back of the date due slip in the pocket.

    All I have left is to do some things with the outside covers of this journal. It’s been a fun experimenting journal. I’ve started using a date stamp so I can keep track of what I did and when. You always think you’ll remember but I have learned that I just don’t.

    Layers upon layers

    This journal spread was several days in the making.

    I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.

    I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.

    Oh well.  Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.

    I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.

    It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.
