Sludge
This is my sludge prompt. This particular week I was feeling really down about life changes and losses, so that was what my sludge was…grief.
For this page I kept it simple. Background is painted with several layers of different colors of paint then sanded slightly. To that I added a photo of an angel statue that I took at a fabulous coffee house in Austin called Spiderhouse. I adhered it to some printed paper that looked like sheet music. On the printed paper I wrote the opening verse of a favorite childhood hymn (A Mighty Fortress is our God). I did some journaling about grief around the pritned paper but it’s difficult it see as its in black ink. I thought about re-writing the journaling in a different colored ink (like white) but decided that I liked the hidden, mysterious journaling. Because my thoughts on grief were personal and vulnerable I liked that they aren’t standing out boldly on the page.
Here is a close up of the angel photo.
