Get up. Get dressed. Paint. A New Beginning

               
I learned that when I make the first art of the day mine, I feel better, more energized ,more confident.  No cleaning, no searching Pinterest for inspiration, no working on swaps…simply painting for myself.
Because I admire Rae Missigman’s work I went to her 15 Minute Mixed Media on her blog and painted THIS journal page as I watched the video.  Of course it took me longer than 15 minutes but I painted…for me.

What I learned: 


  • I discovered a way to get around my anxiety of doodling.  I used leftover punches from plain white card stock for the flowers.  I glued them on then used paint markers to color them in. Will definitely be doing more of this.
  • White gel pen will not write where glue stick got smeared on the page.   
  • I am slowly accepting my handwriting as being okay.

  1. I love your creativity and how you made this page for you. Art journaling is one of my favorite things to do too (though I don't do it nearly enough!) but goodness, it takes me more than 15 minutes to do a page. :) Thanks for sharing your creations with us! :)
