How Do You Play the Game?

How do you play the game? My journal page for Orly Avineri's Art Journaling Group this week. Our topic was "It's in the cards". The pockets in the bottom left, upper right and bottom right contain my journaling booklets.

Quieting the beast...




The beast... You know the beast... We all have the beast... The beast is that nagging, critical voice in our head that says "Oh your can't create" or "your not an artist" or "that is ugly", fill in with your own critical saying... you get the picture. In my art journaling class with Orly Avineri she talked about that very beast & putting a name to it. We name it so we can tell it to "BE QUIET!!!"

Here is my sneaky little beast and quieting him down... have a great weekend and go create something fun.

I made a book!


Today I made a book! I made my own copy of
Teesha Moore's Amazing 16 page journal.
I used Fabrino Artistico sheets
I purchased last spring but waited
until I actually found a journal method that was easy
enough and the right size for my journal.

Here are the links:
