So I painted over it (you can just see the face poking through), no idea what I'm going to do with it now.
So then I went to my horrid journal as I don't mind making bleh pages in them, because that's how I feel they all are:
To be honest I'm feeling pretty bleh in everything the last two days, including my writing. But as I've only got a couple of days left to hit the 50k I'm off to slog, grinch and groan at my screen :(Day 26's final word count for NaNoWriMo was: 1,597. Totalling: 37,015
I can't comment on the face peeking through but I do love the green and blue you covered it with. It's like a work of art in itself.
ReplyDeleteI think your journal pages are great...truly! You are way too hard on yourself, girl. That said, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling a little bleh. I can understand that myself with all the ailments I've been dealing with.
Feel better and good luck with Nanowrimo!
Love and hugs,
Serena xo

Sorry you have a case of the blahs - but you're a better woman than I cuz you at least got off your fanny and worked at something! I tend to be lazy, make excuses and do nothing. I actually like the green covered face as a beginning.....can't wait to see where it goes (probably somewhere purple?)
ReplyDeleteChocolate cures the blahs...go get ya some!
ReplyDeleteBy the way. Leave the first picture as is...with just the eye peeking out. I think she's intriguing!

I too have plenty of those paintings - but I quite like seeing what comes out next. That's a great green colour - really lush and spring-like!
ReplyDeleteJust keep at it!!
Hi Jennibellie... am loving all your pages... agree with Georgie, chocolate goooood glass of wine or two..even better..... will think of you when I pour my glass of wine tonight..which will be in about half an hour when I start cooking dinner... Hope tomorrow is a better day... :)
ReplyDeleteI too am liking the green. May the blahs be sent packing soon.
ReplyDeleteI have bleh days, too. Don't worry, they pass -- it's just a matter of distracting yourself with other fun things until they do.
ReplyDeleteAlso, some of my favorite paintings started out as things I painted over in bold colors... so in my opinion, you're off to a great start!
As a starting point I see a face peeking out through (tropical) leaves?
ReplyDeleteI hope the bleh's leave soon, but in the meantime stop being so hard on yourself; you're a talented lady and you've inspired many of us over the past month :)
I am sorry you are feeling "bleh." I am feeling sick today - so I am feeling "bleh" today too! I KNOW that creative mojo will return - so I am sending happy, creative thoughts & hugs. :) I agree with Serena - loving the green on the top pic.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteFirst time visiting... and, boy am I glad I DROPPED BY FOR A VISIT!
Your blog is fantastic, and your journals are incredible, love it all :]
Such yummy pages filled with paint, collage, and doodles... I am in heaven!
Thank you for sharing your talents. *hug*
Yes I agree with the others; you are inspiring and I like the green page and all your other journal entries too. That's what they are for...not always our perceived idea of perfection.
ReplyDeleteKeep going. Hope you feel less bleeeh tomorrow:)
Chin up;)

You've been pushing yourself pretty hard doing both challenges, so I'm not surprised you're having a bleh day. Three more days and you'll finish AEDM and win NaNo and get your diamond tiara...what...no diamond tiara??? Why are you doing this again? ;)
ReplyDeleteProbably a state of mind issue. I'm finding your bleh pages quite inviting, ready to journal. :)
ReplyDeleteJenny, you may feel "bleh" about these pages, but i love everything i see here!! Really - i do. LOVE the colours in the first piece, and the face peeking through the greens & blues. i'm sure you'll end up making something beautiful with this. And your journals, LOVE. So i'm happy you chose to make art, despite the "bleh" feeling. :-)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow's a new day. xoxo

Even if you don't hit 50,000, be proud of your efforts!
ReplyDeleteI found you on journartista's youtube channel... I journal, too, and did one day of NaNoWriMo this year, lol! I'd appreciate it if you'd check out my blog www.whole-heartedart.blogspot.com, and leave me some feedback! TY and looking forward to getting to know you!
ReplyDeleteI know everyone (myself included) has those days, but I really like what I see in your "horrid" book! :-)
