Art/Journal?



Yesterday I ran out of happy.

Today I have had physio and a massage, (undone all the good work :/ by nearly falling off the physio couch), rested in the sun, eaten chocolate and bloghopped around a few Christian blogs (found from Inspire me Mondays) and have become somewhat refilled.





Last night I did this art journal page.  I don't normally share my art journal pages but having read the things that I have today I feel it is worth sharing, something someone randomly stumbles across here might speak to them.




13 years and still it sometimes feels as though the ME is winning...




I still haven't quite got the hang of art journalling - my pages are either all art or all journalling.  I guess I just feel more comfortable with pictures and numbers than I do with words, but I will keep trying.

    All we can do is keep looking on the positive things in life. What's the saying, if you are given lemons, make lemonade:)

    How about putting things in your journal you've seen and like. Pictures out of magazines, a pressed flower, a quote, a bit of fabric that caught your eye.

    Well I for one am glad you posted this page. The words do speak to me. As the mother of an ME sufferer I know all too well how daunting some days can be. Everyday I say, "Tomorrow will be better" and one day, it will be :0) Mo

    I love a good art journal!! And I like how you used the white on the black paper.

    I';m also going to take some advice from your book and say "don't beat yourself up" everyday like it says to :)

    don't give up. there is no perfect equation. this is your space to write & do what you need. and it is beautiful. you should listen to yourself more often ;)

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
