Journal Play
July 19, 2013
I love art journaling - playing with paint, textures, and words, so I'm not really sure why/how I lost the habit. I began to play again this summer, a bit in June, and then again, these past several days.
It feels good to be back at this, and my goal is to do it at least several times a week, and hopefully, a bit each day, knowing that on some days, it will be just bits and pieces and not a whole spread.
I have such a stash of supplies, there's little or no need to get more; not that I'm tempted. New goodies just make me grin! I'm also trying to use my own imagery as much as I can, and I'd love to start sketching in these. Have to admit, that scares me.
Look at these straight rows of words, just marching across the page. It's the Catholic school girl/teacher in me, and it's very hard to shake. I love pages with random scribbling, but they elude me for the most part.
I'd love to have photographed these outside, but the heat indexes have been between 100 and 110 degrees. OUCH! So, I'm inside and giving thanks for the ac.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
What gorgeous journal pages! I have never really created journal pages - just responses to challenges.
But now that I have retired (after 36 years in education! - yeah), I have more time. You have inspired me.

It's funny isn't it, how we do something we love and then drift away for awhile, only to drift back and remember how much we enjoy it?? I laughed at the Catholic school girl/teacher in you -- we are who we are Paula!! Stay cool and happy weekend! xo

I love your journal pages! I've kept a written journal since I was five, this takes journaling to another level. Think I might give it a try :D
