ARt Journal Caravan - Page 12 - Fight

Wanted to get back to normal in the journal today, so went with fighting time rather than anything (or anyone, LOL!!) else!

I always seem to be scrabbling to find enough time for what I want to do...it passes too quickly!

So we have the words 'fighting time' in her head; the arty hands captured in the cage, unable to produce as much as they'd like! The clocks in the b/g with the fence in front of it - more barriers! The ominous black bird and the days of the week that keep passing and won't hold up and wait for me to catch up with my arty projects, LOL!!!! Finally there's my trusty camel, with his little bit of colour to lead me through all the 'stuff' that gets in the way and takes my time away from creating :)

I LOVED this quote and couldn't wait to use it!!

TFL!

Art Journal Caravan - Page 11 - Belong

No quote on this page, these are all my own words, LOL! The probs I'm having atm IRL involve someone trying to control what I can and can't say in a certain situation (regarding my DD2's school), and I'm not standing for it, LOL!!! I'm feeling strong and absolutely love this page, despite it coming out a bit dark and brooding, LOL, because it looks strong, feels strong and says what am thinking right now! I didn't want real life to get involved in my AJC really, but I suppose this message is appropriate in regard to my creative journey as well...I will be what I will be :)

I put the eyes at the top watching me secretly (which is what this person has been doing!!) and my camel is standing right behind me, supporting me, reassuring me, so he has a warm orangy glow - comforting and shining out against the darkness of this person's actions (she's hiding behind anonymity). He also has a star behind him to show he's valued by me! The splat I placed deliberately to look as though it could be grungy angel wings!! I'm no angel, shown by the raggy nature of the wings, LOL, but what I am saying is worth saying and has value, and next to this cowardly person, I do look positively angelic, LOL!!! OMW! Lots going on in my head today then, eh?!!!!!

If you made it this far, thanks so much!!!!!

TFL!

Art Journal Caravan - Front cover plus pages 2 & 3 resp.

LOVING this! Word for page 2 was 'process' and I loved this quote from Amelia Earhart; word for page 3 was 'thrive'. That was quite a hard one to do without being too obvious and cliched, but this phrase jumped out at me at Church this morning, so went with that!

TFL!
