AEDM & NaNoWriMo Day 25

Today's AEDM is a quick art journal page:
This page was purely about getting messy. I used every wet media & scrap in arms reach, not caring about the outcome, I just needed to get some feeling out.
Linking this today with Paint Party Friday.
My glaze finally came so I have been sealing all those paper beads I made earlier in the month:
Adding glitter and other things like silver flakes, which you can see on the loose beads above, here's a close up:
Day 24's final word count for NaNoWriMo was: 4,150

My Nano stat's were telling me yesterday:

Your Average Per Day: 1,430 
Words Written Today: 4,150 
Target Word Count: 50,000
Target Average Words Per Day: 1,667
Total Words Written: 34,335 
Words Remaining: 15,665
Current Day: 24 
Days Remaining: 7
At This Rate You Will Finish On: December 4, 2011
Words Per Day To Finish On Time: 2,238

2 days ago it was telling me I was under a thousand words a day & would finish Dec 17th or have to write three and a half thousand a day or something to finish on time. So I'm actually pretty chuffed how it's turned around. I can do this, easy!

    Messy is always good, getting stuff out even better. Your bead drying stations looks like a fantastic sculpture. xox Corrine

    Love the beads and the touch of silver makes them especially pretty. An working in your journal 'to get the feeling out' is a perfect use and sometimes great things happen!

    Messy is a great way to let go sometimes.

    The pages are fantastic, and it sounds like your writing is coming on too. Only a few more days and you can breathe again ;)

    I'm loving the beads and the journal work!

    I love doing art as emotional expression/therapy. I can't do that so much with jewelry, but with painting, it's so freeing. And who doesn't love a little creative chaos every now and then? :)

    Your 'messy' is gorgeous! LOVE the splashes of red and purple on your journal pages.

    The beads look great!

    And it looks like you're steadily catching up with the Nanowrimo count...you go, girl!

    Have a great weekend,

    Serena :)

    I love your paper beads. You make me want to grab my stash of beads and work on them again... perhaps embellishing as you have done!

    I also enjoy "circumstances sometimes suck, life never does"... oh, I feel that on some days... thank you for the reminder!

    Love the art journal pages. The beads are just so cool. And it looks like you could probably make your 50,000 words if you write like crazy all weekend! Whoohoo!! That would be some accomplishment, lady!! (Visualize a Fargo cheerleader all weekend--LOL!) Good luck! :):):)
