Sometimes my art journaling is neglected. Loads of "backgrounds" started but no follow-through. It takes a little push to take it further. A bit of moodling with no stopping. In other words, when I run out of ideas for a journal page, I need to DO something else. It may be flipping through a magazine or just picking up a new material.
This all began with a gesso'd page, portfolios, caran d'ache, collage, a pen and finally a quote. I did some more on these pages.
Quotes are a great way to break the cycle. I like this one: honor your whim.
As an aside and on the topic of whims, if you had peeked into my window on Friday night you would have seen me attempting to crochet a lace edging onto a hankie. A misguided whim. I finally quit and pulled out some embroidery floss. So don't think the whole hankie thing was a whim. Oh no! More about this another time.
