Well, I am starting to work on my art journal challenge pages again and I am really behind! You just can't get behind on these types of things. I got caught up on the photo challenge and should have done the current week's art journal page instead of thinking I needed to try to get caught up and not doing any of them. I am going to start on the current week and then go back and catch up when I can, that way it won't continue to stay behind.
Week 4: My Word For The Year Jan 29th
This week's challenge was on My Word for the Year and I chose TRUST. I thought this fit because since we have moved to a new city and home and not sure what life will bring I just have to remember to trust God and know that he is in control. Some days this is very challenging for me and I am not sure why we are here and I just want to go back home to Minnesota to everything that is familiar to me, so that is how I picked my word.
This page took me awhile because it just wasn't turning out like I wanted and I walked away from it and had to come back and try again. The cloud and hand of God idea came from a cartoon I kept from a newspaper over a year ago and thought it would work great for this challenge. The woman on the page is, of course, me and I just love doing female faces. Why? not sure so you will see a lot of this type. I am starting to see a pattern on how I paint them and I like that. I used coordinating scrapbooking paper for the clouds and one of a four sided stamp on the background. I also, keep all different kinds of covers from soap to v8 bottles to make the circles. To do them I just twist them in paint and then press them onto the page, I love the messy look it creates. I have found that doing art journals has allowed me to keep things messy and not be so perfect, so this is a plus for me. Thanks for stopping by and joining me in art class today. Blessings
