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:

I'm loving the beads and the journal work!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe beads look great!
And it looks like you're steadily catching up with the Nanowrimo count...you go, girl!
Have a great weekend,
Serena :)
