"Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I can see,
Only as much as I dream can I be."

Art journaling
I seem to be on a role with the creativity and art making...and I'm loving it! Here's a journal spread that I finished a couple of days ago. I drew this girl from imagination. I had the urge to draw a face so I did. Once she was drawn, I had to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of the spread. I flung a little paint here and there, stamped, painted some more added some collage and there you have it. Then I found a quote that resonated with me in the moment.

DeleteI like lots of things about this page, but especially the way you've integrated all the different parts. Live Big is such a great phrase, I may have to borrow it!
ReplyDeleteKooky, by all means borrow it. If it inspires you to live big, then all the better!
DeleteThis is AWESOME! I can sort of tell that you were in the "flow" just by looking at it. I love when that happens. I have been on a bit of a "roll" lately, too- just sort of going from thing to thing in the studio, and when I feel a little resistant, I just scribble on a piece of paper and go with it. If it turns into something- a collage, a drawing, a piece of writing- great. But if I spent an hour on it and it's no turning into anything, no big deal. I try and remember that at least the time was spent doing something I love even if there's nothing tangible to show for it. I'm also spending a lot more time beading- I forgot how meditative it can be. I started leaving my beads and findings out (I usually am pretty obsessive about cleaning up my studio all the time, so this is sort of a big deal) so that whenever I feel edgy or like maybe I am getting cranky, I can just sit and bead. It usually winds up keeping me busy for hours, which is kind of interesting.
