Art Journal Caravan - Page 7



One of the definitions was soothing...loved these words as being out and about in the fresh air always seems to relax me!

AJC - Page 6



Well, I went on a bit of brain journey with this one, searching for a definition that inspired an image in my head. I think it was after seeing the definition absurd that I ended up with this quote...which may seem odd as it's Mother Teresa, LOL!!

It's what she said...the feeling of being unwanted. That just seemed to absurd, sad and absurd, that in such a large world, filled with people, with more ways to communicate than ever before, and more people doing charitable work and good deeds, that there should still be people inhabiting this world who feel unloved.

I don't doubt it, not at all...it just seems absurd...wrong...that in this day and age people should feel like that....is anyone with me?!!!!

I wanted a bleak feeling to the page, but still with a feeling of hope to it. Hence the dark bird - feelings of being lonely, unwanted, unloved perhaps - swooping down on unseen people and lives; then hopefully a feeling of lightness in the 'sky'...textures across the top and bottom that (to me!!) suggest it could be sea not sky...just a little hint at things not always being as they seem! Is a person I'm in contact with either IRL or online actually as happy or feeling as good about themselves as they appear...?

Maybe too much thinking, LOL, but this is where it all ended up!!!

Art Journal Caravan 2012 - February Adventure Quest


This quest really threw me at first, but something just came to me today! In my head I saw the changing of myself from when I started last year's Caravan, not knowing where my art would go - or how, LOL! - into what is happening now with me creating pieces I really love and some other people actually like too!! The dark is the old me - possessing potential but not knowing what to do with it, and the bright colours represent the me now!! I think this may be one of those pages that I love now but am not as keen on further down the track, but am going to stick with it anyway, LOL!!! TFL!

Art Journal Caravan 2012 - Page 5




I think I was over-thinking this, LOL, and worrying that my mojo has gone walkabouts while I have this head cold...almost walked away from the PSE again today, LOL, but then decided to simplify things and LOVE what came out of that!
It's a mystery for sure, rotfl!!!!
