Miracles Never Cease!!!
Well, I somehow posted my title before I was ready. Anyway, now for the real post. We are 9 weeks into the Art Journal challenge and I can finally access the written down site from home so that I can post!!!!! Yippee! We ended up having to purchase a new router (whatever that is). So I’m going to post some of my more recent creations. I won’t go back to week one but maybe soon I will have a web link where I can post all my pages. Kel gave us her link and I thought that was a fabulous idea and now I want one as well. The other problem is that I don’t have a scanner. All my pages are pictures I took with my digital camera so I couldn’t get great representations and you’re not able to really see the detail. But, I’m so glad to now be posting and fully participating in the class.
These are my break pages. For me break meant breaking free from everything that holds me back from living my fullest, most fabulous life. For this prompt I collaged a lot of photos of myself taken throughout the years. In all of these photos I can remember not feeling as if I were “okay.” Next I journaled on transparencies, listing all the thinkgs I want to break free from – primarily the war with myself that I feel like I’ve been in all my life – that incessant whisper right below the surface that constantly tells me that I’m not “okay” just the way I am. In the middle of each transparency I placed a photo of myself (one from childhood, the other my most recent photo of myself) and then added butterflies from the young photo to the recent photo. For me that represeneted bridging the gap from a time in my life when I honest to God believed I was Wonder Woman to today. I layed the journaling over the collage to give it depth.
