I drew a heart on plaint white card stock then used a
journaling technique I learned in Susannah Conway’s Journal Your Life e-course, dialoguing.
The idea is to write a dialogue on the page between you and
someone/something else where you ‘play’ both parts. Feeling frustrated
with the school’s inept leadership and behind the scenes favoritism, I let them have it and I felt better when I arrived at the bottom of the page.
I used my bits of scraps to collage the heart

ReplyDeleteLovely heart spread page 💕
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF ❣
There are some gorgeous colours in this, even though it was drawn from a pile of negative you needed to offload, you turned it into something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've never really been able to art journal very well myself, but I used to write a lot and I often used my online journal to emotionally offload. Writing can help so much. I would usually then never look at that piece of writing again lest it draw me back into misery. So when you said you were going to art journal it, I initially wondered why you would want to emphasize something negative you had just managed to get off your shoulders, but then I saw that you arted over the top of it all and sealed it off. Efficient and now you don't have to read it ever again :D
Lovely concepts and execution. Thanks so much for sharing.
Best wishes,

Good for you for releasing that negative energy and what a lovely page it turned into! Really love the peekaboo hearts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love so bright and cheerful art pages and these are gorgeous! I'm glad you were able to work out some frustrations on the pages too. You covered it up with such bright colours and that hopefully makes you feel happy. I feel happy looking at these pages :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes through negative energy comes the best art.

A beautiful and colourful journal page. It's hard sometimes to get over negativity; there is so much of it around nowadays. But I do find that writing down how one feels on a daily basis does help.

What a wonderful, colourful heart and page! So great that you could take your negativity, pour it onto the page and turn it into something that looks so positive and full of energy! I find that writing it all down helps too, even if it's just ink in my (written) journal.
