Today was definitely a journey. Just like the title of this piece “The Journey Within”.
The layers on this are unbelievable. I layered paper and then decollaged and then added more paper, it was a true dance of creativity.
I didn’t use a lot of colors but the star of the show was the gold, it’s truly her crown!
I was inspired by emails that I received in response to last week’s video about rest and how some don’t have an issue with rest but have a hard time finding a purpose or direction.
If you missed last weeks video you can watch it HERE
I’ve been there too! And I share a little bit about my journey from feeling like I was drifting and had stopped creating, to coming to a place of knowing my purpose.
It’s a constant journey of different seasons in our lives.
I share more in the video, have fun watching!
