a few hours in pisa, italy

June 29, 2016
Leaning Tower of Pisa

pisa, italy

While traveling from Florence to Cinque Terre, I made a slight pitstop in Pisa to, of course, see the Leaning Tower. It was a very short stop, so when I say a few hours , I mean a few hours.

Pisa is small. Much smaller than Verona, I think. And when I say small, I mean it in a tourist sort of way. The main “tourist” part of Pisa is small. One only visits to see the Leaning Tower and surrounding cathedral. So that is exactly what I did.

From the main train station, I took a short walk to the center of things. You have to walk along the Main Street where all of the shops and restaurants are, all the way to the end before you hit the open grassy grounds of where the tower is. The Leaning Tower of Pisa stands at the entrance or exit, depending which end of the grounds you enter from and it isn’t as tall or large as I had expected it to be.

If you didn’t know, the Tower is in fact a bell tower that was built on a wonky foundation that couldn’t really support all of its weight. This was discovered during construction when the Tower began leaning towards the side. Instead of doing it over, the builders just went with it and that is how we have a Leaning Tower of Pisa.

After taking a few photos of both the Tower and surrounding buildings, my friend and I simply sat down and chilled on the grass a bit before heading back to grab some pizza before our train ride to Cinque Terre.

My current journal stack. I think I might film an My current journal stack.

I think I might film an updated “My Current Journals” video just to share them all. I’ve got a few that I don’t think I’ve ever shared before.

It's really amazing to see how much my journaling has changed since I actively started creating and sharing. I'm very much about THE WORDS lately, but I've been itching to begin a journal just about THE ART. 

I treated myself to some new art supplies this past weekend. I'm hoping I can carve out some time to create art again just as I've been creating the time to write it all out.

Maybe I'll have a new art journal to share soon... xx

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
