Here are some of the layered,torn pages from my most recent art journal. This journal may help me get back into mixed media art, but it's mainly about identifying my emotions, accepting and dealing with where I am in my healing process. It seems that I can't stop using colour - and lots of it - no matter how dark things seem....must be an inherent optimism kicking in. Thing is that the use of colour and the process of layering it down is beneficial to the soul and I wouldn't change it for the world!
I've put the pages in date order and I've chosen not to explain each one, partly because it's personal and difficult to put into words, and partly so that you can make your own choices regarding any meanings - art is subjective after all.
Anyhoo - hope you like them. If you want any more detail about products used or more photos just let me know ok? Thanks for visiting - hugs from Shroo ;) xxx
I just want you to know I love your work, and you have been an inspiration to me. I did complete my own art journal using one of your tutorials-I sewed in handmade papers I found on etsy-using this journal for my hand dye notes and samples
