Splitter-Splatter and Pitter-Patter...
Tis me just flitting in with two new pages of inky ramblings. At the moment I'm leap-frogging - paintbrush in hand - between journal pages, nursery floors and DT work!
It seems my gentle stroll into a bit of art journalling is well-timed as it definitely balances out the demands of creating for set themes. It's nice to just 'do a bit', ponder the mood and come back with another layer, be it midday or midnight...
Although I started them separately, somehow these two pages really wanted to hold hands...
so I worked on both with layers of Color Washes, Dylusions Sprays, stencils and heaps of gesso. The words read 'being me' and 'It's simply done with shatter-proof life" which relates to me being tougher than I think, even on uncertain ground.
I'm on an often turbulent but I think also worthwhile journey with myself. Learning to just be, and embrace where I am today. All those motivational sentiment stamps we have look pretty on paper... in real life they take a bit more homework.
Wishing you all lots of Happy Weekending! Sarah.

I love your pages. The colors are wonderful and you have created so much depth and movement with the layers. I find art journaling to be the best way to be present with myself, connect with my center and many times come to a more peaceful place with myself and my circumstances Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour are so right about the homework. Loving the colours you are using.

ReplyDeleteoh you got me all excited with the Pitter patter in the title I thought baby had arrived, LOL. Love the pages though..x
ReplyDeleteNice colourful pages!
ReplyDeletelove not only the page, but how you build it: i'm the kind of person who can't let go till it's done. so this is a very nice lesson of the day and i'll think of it next time i'm stuck: let go and come back whenever you feel it!
