Haiku My Heart–A New Song

 

I need to sing out

Said the Voice from deep Within.

Here is my new Song.

While I have been creating a lot lately, I have not done anything in my art journal since the summer.

I have missed it!

It was a creative habit of mine several times a week for several years and it was definitely a form of therapy and self-discovery.

It was also a place for fearless play, where art was being created just for me, with no thought of an audience other than myself !

This morning, I took about an hour and played !

I used henna stencils I bought from Traci Bunkers along the way,

spray inks of all kinds,

stamps,

my own painted papers for collage,

and I made an easy two page spread that just flowed out of me.

I hope to listen to that art journal voice a little more often.

The resulting song feels so good to sing !

I have also begun adding some new Rock Beings to the Etsy shop.

These three are available now, in case you hear their voices singing to you !

Have a wonderful Friday, Beautiful Ones !

Big Love !

  1. I have been playing more in my journal too...even if it's just some color note pages...I live to journal on color!

    Color, paper, paint, pens...such a gift!

    Have a great weekend!

  3. well of course
    I see
    moon over water
    as She achieves
    Her fullness
    2 hands
    waiting to open
    reaching...

    just dug out
    an old funky journal
    stitches like sutures
    holding down
    a stray bit
    of diaphanous

    I too miss
    the binding up
    the bound versions
    of private play
    but the assembling
    of the bits
    and the pieces
    feels true
    for now
    so fussy
    about
    the binding,
    the paper,
    the size...

    but I have a hankering
    to secure
    to hold in place
    some diaphanous pleasure

    the song within
    is mostly humming
    now
    and
    a few rock solid words...

    this one
    is for you,

    xox

  4. oh...
    that owl-y one
    lives
    in my neighborhood
    saw her flying
    into charcoal treetops
    last dusk
    the sky
    raspberry cream...

    xox
