january 9 - 10
on the 9th, i was inspired by this art journal seen on flickr.
on the 10th, the beautiful story fragment i bought from jude hill.
and i learned not to put on lotion before working with watercolors.
january 11 - 12
on the 11th, we got an offer on the house.
on the 12th, i started my weaving lessons.
this is a great way to help remember these things!
january 13 - 14
i actually did the 13th page on the 16th during the art journaling fest at blog camp.
january 14 was done during my art journal catch-up evening on the 18th.
it's a drawing of the wonderful petra art doll by sophie callaghan that spudballoo gave me at blog camp.
thank you spud (and sophie)!
i know, my stædler fineliners were a little garish, but they write like a dream.
january 16 - clarity birds based on elizabeth's symbol.
they just popped into my head as i was drawing elizabeth's symbol.
january 17 - 18
watching the fountain with hugh jackman.
quite a thought-provoking movie about the tree of life.
i found myself writing down quotes.
and drawing the tattoos he had on his arm.
tho' i did spend a lot of the movie expecting hoping he'd turn into wolverine.

when she came to blog camp, elizabeth looked around the house and suggested that the reason i obsessively write down where i am when i do a page was evident in the maps hanging on the walls (and the ceiling) in our house. i have a need to orient myself in time and space. knowing where i am so i can look towards where i'm going. i really quite like that thought. much better than a mild case of OCD...
Love it!
ReplyDeleteespecially the entry that was inspired by flik'r
and your Hugh Jackman Wolverine quote..Heeh

Love these. They are fresh, and wonderful. Very 'clarifiying'so to speak.
ReplyDeletesee, this is why i can't show my pitiful journal. lol i'm totally jealous.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pages woman - beautiful
I could sit here all day (or night) and look at the journal pages. They are so clever and interesting. Thanks for the peek. :)
ReplyDeleteThe clarity birds are so wonderful! The image of the eye and the bird overlapping personify clarity - flashes of insight that land and fly away at will. Also, I love this sentence, "I have a need to orient myself in time and space." It is really resonating with me, not sure exactly why.
ReplyDeletelovely pages, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI now know that I am just as unartistic as I always thought I was . . . but I'm okay with that!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. xx
these are really great.
