article: Break | written down

At first I started out doing something about escaping and relaxation, but my stress creeped into this and it turned into something more therapeutic.

I started out with a magazine clipping of an entrance to the beach. I sprayed some of that Krylon spray stone stuff on it to give the sand texture, and then added watercolors and acrylics to the ocean and sky. My letter stamps are making memories in two colors to give the words a little depth. Then I took some hemp cording and tied it in knots and then wrote all the little things that are stressing me out on paper and then stuck them onto the hemp string. The journaling says “I need a break from life right now” and at the top of the page it says “there really ain’t no cure for the summertime blues”.

Thanks for looking!
