Art Journal page - just for fun!
I'm so cross that these 'names' are being used as terms of insult, and nobody else is willing to speak up and say these words are offensive. If nobody speaks up these words will become commonplace and accepted generally, and that would be just plain wrong!
So I was REALLY cross, LOL and frustrated as well...then I found these words and just knew that sleep was going to be late for me tonite, LOL!!!

Art Journal Caravan 2012 - Page 4
This week's prompt really sparked my imagination!!
Although I don't really feel fear in regard to what I'm making now, and
showing in this incredibly supportive world, when it comes to showing my pages
to people, even family, IRL, I know that fear, LOL :) It's not that I need
their approval or anything, it's more that they will feel nothing for the
page(s) that I love so much!!!
So that's what I went with! I wanted a more simple page
today, to try and make the 'creativity' more obvious...hhhmmm not sure that one
worked, LOL, by the number of layers I have in this page, but I'm happy with
the effect :)
TFL!

Art Journal Caravan 2012 - Page 3
Had fun trying to get an image in my head in order to
illustrate this word!
Then saw some words something about talking to self being
the soul having a conversation..ugh can't remember it exactly now, sorry!
Anyways, that sent me off down a path looking at illustrating the soul, LOL,
which led to a feeling of using light and dark...the soul enclosed.
Of course with the mind map still in my head as well, I just
loved these words about thinking :)
So there it is! The inner workings (summarised and
considerably shortened, LOL!!) of my mind!!!!

CT LOs for Creative Victorian Designs using new kit Vale of Mortals and new mini kit Wandering Around!
Art Journal Caravan 2012 - Page 2
Well, who'd have thought, LOL?!!!
When I saw this word as the prompt, I wondered what on earth
I was going to do with that!! So I decided to try and illustrate the meaning
rather than have the actual word on my page! These words seemed perfect for
this purpose, and off I set!
OMW! How much this page evolved! It started as something
completely different!!
I'm honestly amazed at how what I'm making is changing (I
thought I'd found my 'thing' through last year's Caravan!) and how much I'm
being stretched almost without realising it once I start a page!!
Have had a couple of hours of pure relaxation and joy in my
own little world making this page, so thank you Tangie, from the bottom of my
heart, for inspiring this in me!
TFL!

Well, LOL! Don't really have a clue where this page came
from...I have fairly recently changed my thinking about a couple of things and
have tried to act accordingly...I just did it, without talking to anybody about
it, and I think that's what this page is trying to say, LOL!
Going off alone (although my experience was in my mind, not
a physical disappearing act, LOL!) and changing something, without anyone
seeing!!
And then, imagine me sitting here with a little wry smile on
my face at the naked lady with wings illustrating clandestine rotfl!!!! x

to keep her hopes and dreams in sight!

CT LOs for Creative Victorian Designs using new kits Vale of Darkness and Nightshade (mini kit)
Two beautiful new kits out from Creative Victorian Designs! Vale of Darkness is an absolute stunner - I LOVED using it to create this, my first real attempt at 'realistic fantasy'! Nightshade is a lovely mini kit perfect for so many kinds of pages! I loved these words and the kit had the perfect feel to it to illustrate them!
You can find Vale of Darkness HERE and Nightshade HERE!

CT LO for ViVa Artistry using new kit - Count Your Blessings
This is such a wonderful new kit - can see me using this year round!! You can find it HERE at The Digichick - there's a bundle off goodness available as well!!
The little silver angel dangly made me think of a guardian angel, and Amber has certainly been that for Antoinette since her injury, but also for all of us through these difficult times!

Art Journal Caravan 2012 - January Adventure Quest - Mind Map
I wanted to try and illustrate trying to actually find my brain, LOL, as in the 'real' me, amongst all the stress of legal dealings and schools and exams and other life 'stuff' that just gets in the way! However, this is what evolved when I started playing!!
I think the 'stuff' is in the darkness, and the patch of light over the head is the real, artistic, creative part of me that sometimes gets pushed down by the darkness, but other times shines out brighter because of the darkness...blimey that sounded a bit deep, LOL!!!!
I'm so pleased to have started this journey now!!
TFL!
