re-inspired
So! It's been too long since I've painted. Far too long. I think tomorrow after work, I'm going to replenish my paint supplies and get going! I feel the need to create something - to be busy with something that has no purpose other than getting out my emotions and just being what it is when I'm finished. So! Look for something new tomorrow! I am determined to get something done and post it. Hm, maybe I'll even do something tonight - afterall, it's cliche, but there -is- no time like the present. Actually, the present is the only moment in time that exists at all . . .

Lady
My most recent painting. I started with a magazine collage background and went from there.
In other news, I just made an Etsy account. I can't sell with it yet, as I'm between banks, but hopefully I should be selling by Friday, May 22nd. If you're interested - check it out then, this will definitely be listed, along with others on my flickr account.
I'm super super excited to get started!

Seated Waiting
I've been rather bad at keeping up this blog, but I'm back, and I'll be consistent, I swear!
This piece stemmed from a lot of bottled-up emotions - I was feeling terribly alone when I created it, and I think I was trying to find some way to express that.
I began with the background - magazine clippings that appealed to me, and then I filled the rest in with acrylics. After that, I found this girl and totally reworked her, and well, this is what I got!
Enjoy :)

Time time time!
I've been so incredibly busy lately with moving and starting school that I haven't been able to work in my art journal at all for the past couple of weeks. I have a free day tomorrow though, and I'm determined to do a new page, so, tomorrow it is!

Windows
Hard hard day today, thus, a new journal page! I've been rather frusturated with the upcoming dutch test, and I went to get some practice papers that I did corrected. Baaasically, they sucked. I don't think it was so much that all the grammar was wrong, so much as it just really doesn't sound sophisticated at all yet. Hopefully they're looking more for just plain correctness than, well, style. Ah, we'll see I guess.
Anyway, this page was a mixture of the different emotions in each of the four corners, and then some.
At least it was a productive day, despite the challenges. Challenges are good for the soul anyway, right?

Dream bubbles
I've been art journaling regularly, I just don't always remember to post them to this blog, but I shall try to be more diligent.
This page was kind of difficult for me to finish. Part of it, I think, is that with this new journal I have more room and I'm not used to working with so much space. I've also just been feeling a tad bit blocked. Not sure why. Anywho, I guess the best thing to do is just keep going, and it'll get there eventually, right?

Colorful World
I'm really really happy with this page. I started out with just the note to myself, and this was what I got.
I also just joined Blissfullly_Art_Journaling, a yahoo group, and it looks like I'm going to be getting a lot of good ideas and inspiration from them, so that'll be another way to keep experimenting with my art journal.
In the past few days I've also started working on making my own agenda for the coming school year. Probably partially to make myself believe, that yes, I will pass this Dutch test, and yes, I will finally be going to school full time again. As It says in my writing on the art journal page, I just feel like my world is so small right now. I really need something that's my own, that's separate.
I got to talk to Shannon about all of this along with some other stuff that's been on my mind and it was really nice. That's the one thing I hate about having moved here, is that family and friends are so far away. I guess I should be grateful for modern technology though, that lets us communicate so easily, especially since I'm hopeless when it comes to sending snail mail.
