december daily 2019 ✩ week one

December 8, 2019

The first week of December Daily is in the books. I’m not sure how I’m liking this little book. It’s definitely more artsy than I had intended it to be. And even though there are only seven spreads completed, it’s already bulking up!

December is definitely an off month for me. While everyone else seems so busy and stressed, I’m like nonchalantly going about my days wondering if there’s anything more I need to do. I don’t celebrate the holidays. I was raised in a household where we never did due to religious beliefs, so now as an adult and my own person, I don’t really care for them at all. As an outsider looking in, the season always seemed fun and warm but with a tension so thick you could slice it with a knife. That could very well be the New York way of life during the holiday season, but I never liked that last part too much, so no thank you. And that’s for all holidays. I’ve always been very good at finding the bits that’s wrong with each and every one of them.

While the world around me seems so busy, I’m just really chill. So naturally I struggle a lot with keeping a true December Daily because I don’t really have much to document in December at all. And let’s be honest, documenting the mundane everyday sorts of things is quite dull and boring. There are just so many times I could say I went to work, came home, walked the dog and watched Youtube the rest of the night.

So for this December Daily, I’m merging a bunch of different December challenges into one. First and foremost being December Daily itself, a la the scrappy Ali Edwards sort of way. Second, I’m loosely following along with Susannah Conway’s December Reflections prompts. And third, I’m also going through Kasia Avery’s Advent Calendar art journal challenge. So it’s a hodge podge of all these things. I definitely think Kasia’s Advent Calendar has had a significant influence in how my pages have been turning out. She does a lot of heavy mixed media in her art journals and while I haven’t been adding too much mixed media myself, I have been playing with my paints and inks more in this book.

Anyway, these are the pages I’ve done so far. I couldn’t possibly tell you which one is for what day–I kind of abandoned that time concept at day one. Definitely take a look at the half overview half process video for a couple of my pages below. I really hope you enjoy!

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
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
