Mandala Monday


 Where does an adult go to play?  Do adults need to play?  Is it okay for adults to play?  This adult plays in an art journal.  This adult definitely needs to play.  This adult thinks it is okay for adults to play!  I am not sure that all of society agrees with that.  I have never cared much for what society thinks.  

Anyway, this journal page was all about play.  I practised getting ink to run down the page on the left.  For some reason, my drips never look all that good.  I am not sure how to make them look better.  The mandala was done with both my left and right hands.  Great fun!  

This whole journal spread isn't exactly stellar.  Maybe, I shouldn't post about it on my blog.  But I do because ultimately I am okay with it.  I am glad that I can embrace all the imperfections.

I can't see anything wrong with adults playing with journal pages, a tennis racket, a fishing rod, an indigo dyeing vat, embroidery thread or whatever they see as a toy, as long as they don't neglect their duties (childcare, healthcare, paying bills, caring for the environment and so on).
I am sure you have every right to play with your journal pages! Go on enjoy it!

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
