Two Birds with One Stone

Das Thema bei Journal 52 war diese Woche Inspiration Board. Zugleich zeige ich die Arbeit bei der Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, deren Thema Birds of a Feather war. Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe. or two Birds with One Stone.

I did this page for my weekly Journal52 challenge (Inspiration Board) but will also add it to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge the theme was Birds of a Feather. I think this works well for both challenges because inspiration is like a bird it is here but if you don't grasp it, it might fly away soon and like the colourful feathers of a tropical bird the biggest inspiration is in nature itself and in every detail of creation..

This started out as a really crappy collage and I was so unhappy with it but I didn't give up, in the end I pretty much covered up the whole background and ripped off a few of the pictures that I just didn't like or that were in the wrong place.
So in the end after doodling away during a long skype call with my sisters I'm happy with it. :)

Oh yes and I decided to also enter the Mixed Media World Challenge

And thanks to Froebelsternchen's tip I also joined art-journal-journey 'things with wings'

Negative Emotions

Just to show you that not everything is yippie yeah here in paradise, I am uploading this page because I have my fair share of bad days and negative thoughts and feelings. Art Journaling helps me to process these emotions. This spread evolved from an old sketch that was in my journal for quite some time and that I hated because it was so poorly done and oozed with darkness. I finally decided to rework the page and let out all my frustration on to the paper. I added the quote and thought I should enter it into  Art Journal Journey  new challenge which is called poems and quotes, I think. The quote reads: "Holding on to negative feelings and past circumstances is like placing a lock on your soul" Charles Glassman.
