Raining on the inside and out...

Blame it on the weather, blame it on the rain, blame it on the hormones...or say you're just tired. But boy, did I wake up in a really rubbish mood today, and it's still hovering. Whatever the reason - it is what it is and I feel like I feel. Not into analysis and reason today. I saw Art Journal Cafe had a new theme up, so I went for a little peek. I took one look at the colours and thought Au revoir....

It's not like I ran away screaming or anything, but I really didn't feel the colours calling my name either.

Just shrugged and thought, "Not feeling any of those. Not my cup of tea at all today".
But then I thought that was actually how I was feeling about the whole day and in some mad way, a wrong might just be a right, if you know what I mean...

So I plundered my paint box and scattered my desk with an array of paint and ink. Seems some of my pots have seen better days and were feeling worse than me. I might be feeling moody, but at least I haven't completely dried and cracked up...

Started with random scribbles of black ink which is very therapeutic, especially if you pull a miserable face at the same time. Apart from a blast of Orange Dylusions spray and the odd splatter, it was all mainly paint and gesso today. The stitching is the reverse of last weeks page...

Hand cut heart stencils along side yellow dots and blue fragments of flowers painted using the Dotted Flower Stencil. A grabbed a crumpled dictionary page which coincidentally has the word Injury at the top. Strong emotions stamped onto transparent pattern paper to portray their 'thin' presence today... covered with my typed journalled thoughts...

"There's something not quite right about these colours...or my day either. So maybe it makes sense after all."
Also joining in with the wonderful Julie Fei Fan Balzer's Art Journal Every Day.
That's my Saturday fix of Freudian fun. I'm must be awaying. Going to see what an animated two hours of Tin-Tin might bring. Until Monday methinks... Sarah
