Home Page: written down

Well, I know there is not a whole lot of art involved in this entry but this is my entry for the Change prompt. I had a lot to say so it ended up being very wordy. I am not going to type up everything I said but it was about how I am extremely faithful and trusting in everyone, to the point of being gullible. I cycle through trust/get hurt/forgive/trust/get hurt/forgive with a lot of people including my own father. I wish that I could change this and put up some boundaries but that is just not me and it is probably never going to change.

Okay, not really proud of this side of my personality, but it is what it is. I wish the details in this picture were more clear. Week two was much easier. I found the lion photo on National Geographic’s website. I saved it to my computer and used my photo editing software to filter the photo to resemble a color pencil picture. In my wildest dreams I could not reproduce this image by myself!

I loved doing this one…one I had the words…it was fun fun!

Create Art & Be In Charge. The quote around the ‘C’ is one I found last night ‘When you are born, your work is placed in your heart’...Kahlil Gibran.

So happy here to keep up.

I’m a little behind in completing my first week’s assignment. This is my first attempt at collage. I wanted to do a page that tells a little bit about me so that if my journal were found they could use all the clues in the artwork to find the owner. This was a challenge for me because I’m usually more of a writer and wanted to challenge myself to say it all through art. Not sure I’m totally satisfied with the outcome but it was fun creating with “no rules” to follow.

This was inspired by what someone once told me, and he summed me up pretty well: “You are the most simple complicated person I have ever known.” To which I replied, “Aren’t we all?”

I may be complex in my head – but provided facts and evidence I am able to change my stubborn mind about most things—- except for my gypsy soul. It is as much a part of me as my heart and soul.

The one thing i cannot change is my need to feel free. Like a bird, I need a safe little nest to return to, but oh how I love to fly.

Thankfully I am married to a man who knows this about me and does not ever fence me in.

The 2 pages represent complex and simple. Duh. LOL.

I am loving this AJ class – it makes me think. Which appeals to my complicated side.

Finally managed to finish the first entry off this morning. The background is painted with Stewart Gill paint and overstamped with black Stazon. Various collage bits to represent me or bits of my scrapping/arty life. The jewels on the tree are my children. I’ve written my blog address for locating me online and inside the tag with co-ordinates on it is my real address.
