The first one Family has written on the back love binds us together so does crazy. Hope, back says confident expectation. Wild, back says Mind. I believe, back says I choose.
This second picture is a collage piece I have been working on for a while. The light in my art space is crappy right now. So sorry not the best. But it is definitely how I feel. The words in heart shape are HOPE.
This last one I made with my sister, she worked on her piece I worked on mine. I so dig the colors and I love black. I need to figure out how I am going to hand these they are definitely special.
Okay no to my gripe. I have started my year with the idea that I was going to do more visual art journaling. Good right? No, first it turned out to be alot because of my crappy mood. Then I do morning pages as per recommended in The Artist Way. So I was doing my morning pages in a spiral notebook happily because I can fill 3 pages. I decided that I would put my morning pages in my visual journal. Not the greatest idea because you need space to write right? Well then I discovered online something called a Lifejournal for writer's and I am in love. I can type faster than I can write, like I said in love. I have the demo right now and can't imagine doing my morning typing with out it. It has so many features it will blow your mind. But what has happened I want to use my visual art journal but can't seem to figure out how? I hate having everything everywhere. I love the typing but am also afraid. So there is my dilema. I don't know what to do. What has become important is my writing. So getting as much down as I can is super important. I am such a paper and pen girl, really I am. But there is a part of me that is a bit techie. I love my secretary (blackberry) but secretly I miss writing stuff down. Uhhh, this has been an ongoing internal subject for me. At times I am contently oblivious and at others it's a crisis!!! Consistency is not my bf. But fine I shall see what I will do. If you have any suggestions I am OPEN. really.
Anyway look forward to your comments. I hope. suggestions anyone?????

Hi, I also am doing the morning pages. One day I wrote it down, but yesterday ideas were flowing and I type faster than i write...so I did
ReplyDeletemy typing in Word. I totally hear where you are coming from. Can you type stuff and print it out, leave spaces so you could paint, journal more?!
This is what I am considering doing...everywhere, i turn lately I am frustrated. There has been too many sick days, delays, and the unexpected lately. I don't have my own space/studio yet..so most of my stuff is draped on the table. I had to clean it up, 4 times last week, people coming over for dinner, etc.
Keep at it and try a couple of things to see what works for you!
I'm going to check out your new find! Thanks!
