This super simple journal page was just perfect for this week! And yet it is loaded with meaning.
I used my stencils in my favorite ways, with spray paint, gesso and rice paper. And my acrylic inks give it just the right amount of color.
Two weeks ago I was cleaning the bathroom and came across a necklace that I got more than 15 years ago, to remind me that I was in fact…. an artist. That I had a purpose and a passion to create and encourage. The necklace has a simple charm on it that has a palette and a paint brush.
There were a lot of voices back then (including my own) that said, you can do that, you’re not good enough, how will you make a living doing that…. and I clung to that simple charm like my life depended on it.
I was reminded this week that I again was needing that refocus and to remember who I was… who I am… and what my purpose is…. I share more about it in the video.
I hope you find some inspiration from the journal page. Have fun watching
