Journal Page

Image
 I have created thousands of journal pages.  Keeping an art journal is completely necessary for my soul.  I create art in my journals that is just for me.  Knowing that no one else will see this work is freeing and helps me not be precious about it.  My journal is a place to experiment and be contemplative.  I cut the phrase "none of the deep introspective doubts' from an old book.  It landed on this page even though I was full of doubts about it.  Art Journal Journey  posted the challenge to use a photo on our journal pages in January.  I decided to use one of my kaleidoscope photos.  I LOVE these photos.  I have had a lot of positive feedback on them and everyone wants to know my secret as to how they were made.  So there starts the problem.  I want my journal page to be good enough for my precious photo.  Good enough and precious are problematic for me and my creativity.  Probably most people's creativity. Deep introspective doubts really rob us of the joy of creating.
