i enjoy working in the smaller dylusions journal right now. This pint sized journal is easy to carry with me to create on the go. i like doing both single pages and two page spreads in it. i have been trying out things i've learned in my abstract class. this journal is a good place to try things and stretch myself. i can see some small shifts and growth in my art and i totally love having a visual record of my journey. i might have to start dating my journal entries. Do you date your pages?
i started this two page spread with no destination in mind trusting my direction would appear. and it did. i could see my mood, my emotions spilling onto the pages. The colors aren't my typical ones but i like them a lot. It fits with what i was feeling at that moment plus i always feel it's good to try something new. You will see in the video how i kept changing the title to get it right. i am so ok with seeing if something else works better.
But in this case, the first way was best for this spread and even though the title got a little squished i am ok with not sacraficing the whole piece for it. it actually fits the feelings i poured into this piece.
