Here is what I’ve done for the week-end of “Get Your Art ON“, day 3 and 4:

Still in my Art Journal, I badly needed to go through very negative feelings so it was the safest place to do so (this is when it becomes more of Creative Journal than an Art Journal.

On the morning, I was feeling well, I sprayed blue and green spray inks through a swirly stencil, over a previously gesso-ed page.
Then I got wonky inside and broke up so I took my journal and just wrote it all…. Writing itself helped a lot, but paired with drawing etc it is just total therapy !!!

After I wrote, I put another thin coat of gesso, to cover it up. Burying it. Here is how it looked like then, on Saturday (the sticker is just one my daughter wanted me to use):

Tonight, I simply sketched a girl over it… (I will retouching the picture tomorrow as I am writing it on my IPhone, in my bed. Sorry for the poor quality for now. EDIT: retouched a bit so it is clearer but still sorry for the poor quality.):

We’ll see how it will turn out tomorrow 😉

Good night !

Another journal is now closed as this third journal is completely filled up But I already have the fourth one ready to receive my thoughts.

I so love browsing the old journals when finished, see the evolution, bringing back the memories (good and less good). Being the only one knowing what is behind what we can see in these pages.

Here is the video for you to enjoy (I hope):

If you want me to talk about a specific page, don’t be shy and just ask 🙂

I told you a few weeks ago about my new big journal (11×14″). I dedicate it to my Dreams, small and big, and to my Wishboards.
A lot of huge pages to fill, inspired by the fantastic Andrea Schroeder, I draw maps and discover new paths in order to make them reality.

Here is the first page:

Very simple page, only created with PanPastels (face and background) and the Color Shots from Lindy Stamp Gang (unfortunately the picture does not justice to the vibrant shimmers).

On her body, I wrote my statement:

I plant Wishes’s seeds.
I water them with Love.
Watch them grow.
And then I harvest all these Wishes that became Reality.

It is time for me to take care of my life, to shape it so it will look like my longing. You know, this gut feeling telling you «Change your life now before it is too late. It can be exactly what you want it to be, not what it should be.».

I am a firm believer of the «Do not complain about something you do nothing to change»; and often with people it go smooth or it clashes about it. However, I apply this saying to me first. My bigger challenge in these cases is to find which way to go to modify what I actually do not like as sometimes, none of the way looks better than the other(s). My solution ? Sending a clear wish to the Universe after having enunciated the situation, asking for help; then I forget about it until the key comes there (and trust me, it happens all the time that the solution is way different from what I thought at the beginning !).

What about you, what seeds are you currently planting ? How do you care for them ?
