I've been busy playing with my art journals. If you're anything like me, sometimes crafts can get a little stressful. I don't know what it is ... maybe just the pressure of completing the task at hand. Well, I have to say that since I've been playing with my journals, I haven't noticed that stress. What a fun way to just release and relax. I think it's the fact that you know you can always come back to it and add more. You're never done with any page if you have the desire to add more. So, I've decided to really relax and just enjoy getting to know paints again and learn a few techniques. I know my last post mentioned experimentation and that's just it. Maybe it's taken me this long to let that sink in.
I'm going to complete my journal in phases. The phase I'm on right now is learning new techniques. so I plan to complete the first layer of all the pages first. Then I can go back and fill in with more sayings, writings, decorating, and the like. Of course that goes without saying that if I feel the urge to complete a page, I sure will. In the meantime, I've posted a few of the "first-layered pages" I've been working on.
Come back again soon and I'll be posting some of the more completed pages ... although remember a page is never done!
