Week 1: New Beginnings
I just joined the Art Journal challege last week, so I’m a bit behind on my postings. This is my Week 1 page.
I used watercolors to paint the blue background and the gerber. A Zig writer pen is the journaling and “New Beginnings” inside the flower (I don’t know if you can see it very clearly). The alphabet stickers are Making Memories and American Crafts’ Sarah Script. The rest is just a few things clipped from magazines here and there.
I don’t know if you can see it that well, but the journaling says:
“I started this art journal to open my mind to something long forgotten. I used to paint, draw, sketch, but all of that disappeared…Now, I’m regaining that facet of my creativity—looking beyond the world of scrapbooking and returning to a past universe where art had a place of importance and my creativity was expressed with more than just glue and pretty paper.
