Funky Art Queen

I spent most of the weekend on journal art. I have been thinking about why journaling is good.  What is the point? It occurred to me that if you need a point....then it is not art! So I'm settling into the idea that this is what IS my creative place right now.  So, I go there....and do what I feel.  I ordered some journal supplies today.....and I'm excited about that.   I'm also thinking about journal prompts....things that will inspire us to get into our journals today.....

 I have spent a lot of time playing in my art journals today.  Like I said before, it seems like I always go back to journal art.  I enjoy getting into the acrylic paints and looking at pictures and whatever I have saved up to add to journals. It may not be any real ART, but to me.....it is something I will love to look at later. I love going back and looking at all of my art journals.  I have many MANY of them. Some of them are crazy-frightening entries.....but others are  happy and pleasing to my eyes.   I journal when I am happy, and I journal when I am sad, angry, excited.....pissed! So, if anyone ever reads all of these journals.....they will see that I am a woman just like most.....struggling everyday with work life, family life, and life in general. I am trying to figure out who I am and what it is I am supposed to do in this life. The only thing that makes me different from most, is that I chose to document my feelings through creative journal...

Seems like I always go back to my journals and mixed media. It is where I am most comfortable. The more paint, glue and craft supplies the better! I have been in a creative funk lately....but, I was inspired when I looked at journal art on Pinterest today.  So, I got out my paint and began....sometimes I wonder why.....what is the point?  I quickly put silly ideas like that away.....That is the Point....there is no point....just create....just feel and do what comes to you.  Some day, I believe it will all make sense.  I also worked on some Pallet art signs today. My hubby found some pallets and disassembled them for me to create some signs. I made two over this long holiday weekend. (Labor Day) and I enjoyed that.  Here they are.
