A selection of my art work. I love Mixed Media and Upcycled Art. I also love Art Journaling.
Half-Done Unfinished Journal
This is a half-done unfinished journal I started four years ago. I picked it up recently and started working on it again. Some of the pages are done, some half done, and some I haven't touched in four years. It started out as a composition notebook that originally had another use. Some pages need more work, quotes, words, or focal points. Some of them I'm not even sure where I was headed with them in the first place. I kind of like the white-washed effect on this page. Not sure where I was going with the magazine pieces on this one. I am still working on this journal as I am inspired to. I will share updated photos as I finish the pages. Sometimes when I work I start with a few marks or glued in things and then let it sit and keep looking at it until it tells me what else it needs. The process can be long but that's how I work best. Full view of the cover.
It has been two years from me since I broke completely into bits and pieces of someone I no longer knew. Art saved me. You cannot seem to put those pieces back the same as they were. And, most likely a good thing for me. I have learned to settle but be prepared to run at a moment's notice. I know where ever item of mine is, in this house. I will have the motor home to put things in to. I am watchful and alert tohow fast I can pack and go. Sad, but so. I have committed to a new relationship as well ( my best friend's husband, and my husband's best friend, from Yuma, Arizona). I am a blessed woman. I have a beautiful home, a kind and gentle man, and I am comfortable. That is what counts. Comfort. I have changed so much, but, as I said, art has saved me. I am so happy to hear you are beginning to thrive. xoxoxoxo
