My plan for the morning was to go for a walk immediately upon waking…the weather didn’t cooperate. Instead I made art.
The page on the right was the inside of a security envelope…I decided to do a gradient of color from light to dark blue. That, honestly, was my only plan or inspiration. Next I added some random stamping to the background.
By this point I was starting to get an idea of the direction I was headed.
The gradient blue represented standing at the edge of the unknown…like the edge of the ocean. Nothing certain…endless possibilities. The branches are what I’m holding on to…my support. My stability.
I cut a tag from another chunk of masterboard. This piece had a scrap on which I had tested a compass stamp. It seemed fitting. There is guidance but really we just need to navigate our way through.
My current journaling has been really helping me express my feelings leading into the coming school year. 
It’s all so unknown…uncharted…unpredictable and frightening. But here I am…standing bravely…ready to go support my kiddos at school the best way I know how.

Linking up with Art Journal Journey again for Alison’s theme of Pockets and Tags.
