Art Journal Caravan - Adventure Quest - Portal - Page 1

when I first read this I wondered what on earth I could make of it, LOL! But then I thought about it a bit more, read a bit more, and an idea slowly formed in my mind! Then I was super inspired, LOL!!

I plan to have the 4 pages tell a little story of my 'transformation' through my art/creativeness. At the moment I feel I'm still searching...trying to find my way...if there is a way to be found!! I was inspired by this piece... http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/tabid/68/id/10608/Default.aspx so went with that idea :)

Art Journal Caravan - Page 19 - Achieve

LOVED this quote as my mind drifted from the word achieve towards my art and what I'd *like* to achive . Sometimes I feel that rather than make things happen myself, I'm standing by, watching, as what is coming my way gets steadily closer Hopefully this is reflected in the 2 ladies watching the children running with the sparkly stuff, LOL And there's my camel, getting closer to being in amongst them

Art Journal Caravan p19 - Cycle

Cycle was just too hard for me as it was, LOL, so I let my thoughts wander...I was thinking about this on Good Friday...thinking about cycles of the Church Liturgy, and then cycling made me think of movement..walking/flying etc etc, and given the season, this poem from GK Chesterton came to mind!!

Hummie's World, Course 2, Lesson 70

Once I decided I liked the pattern of the Ying/Yang cut in half, I wanted to keep the b&w (ish!) theme, with all the focus on the photo with that gorgeous blue shy!

Bit of symbolism going on here, LOL, must be the influence of the Art Journal Caravan, LOL! The bird flying high, the title, there is wire on the shapes to symbolise being caged in, and the bird is enlarged outside of the frame to symbolise breaking free Living life with relish! The clocks remind us that time marches on and waits for no one...sometimes we need reminding to make the most of life! I def do, LOL!!

Think this could go on a canvas on my wall actually, for my bedroom...wouldn't be a bad thing to wake up to every day
