I have been kind of waiting
to get back into my art journal practice.
Waiting until I had more time.
Waiting until I finished all my Rock Fairy orders.
Waiting and also of yearning and longing.
This morning,
Sunday morning,
I decided to take some of the advice the Universe has been sending my way.
What if this was your one day ?
What are you really waiting for ?
Live your life as if…
Do it now.
I took the advice and dove in…
Using Tattered Angel Glitter Mists, sepia ink with a dip pen, bits of silk sari scraps and my creative juices,
out came this three page spread in a 16 page journal made from Teesha Moore’s technique.
Doodles, and my own play on this quote “Let your Life be A Poem” from Patti Digh.
Eucalyptus leaves as masks then doodled over…
A poem to my Self.
New seeds planted and growing.
Ahhhhh….
It feels good to belong to myself just a little bit more.
Happy Sunday, Beautiful Ones !

Every time you do a post like this, it makes me pause for just a minute and think. . . maybe I should do an art journal. But then I realize I've got plenty of writing to do on the memoir and I come to my senses. But I'm ever so glad that you DO art journal, even when you've got a million rocky fairy orders.
ReplyDeleteA poem to self that sounds so nourishing, lavishing in the moments with words and images, now the bucket must be getting full! x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you stopped "waiting" ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, I am loving this and loving that you gave yourself the gift of time! Utterly, utterly gorgeous, Kim!
