get messy: season of fairytales week two

August 24, 2017

So even though I’m currently traveling through Europe, I wanted to share with you the two spreads I managed to complete for week two of Get Messy Season of Fairytales! I managed to film the process of both of these spreads before I left for you all to enjoy.

and she never once took the crown from her head

This first spread was inspired mostly by the model image I found in a magazine. I loved the way her hair was braided around her head like a crown. It reminded me of the Suzanne Vega song The Queen and the Solider. I used some torn old book pages, white doilies, and florals on this page. I’m starting to think that they are becoming the staples in this art journal because I use them on every single page. But what really accents this particular page are these huge gold glitter alphas that I used to spell out “queen.” I hand wrote the rest of the lyric by copying a font that I liked from my computer. I absolutely suck at hand lettering, so having something to look at for reference really helps, even if my lettering still comes out looking a bit wonky.

This second spread came out in much of the same way as the first. I was inspired initially by the model image that I found in a Free People catalogue. I just really loved what the model was wearing. Her outfit seemed very ethereal and whimsical. To me, it seemed very princess-y and magical. So I went with that. I was thinking about this week’s prompts as well and all of it combined just reminding me of how Ariel, from The Little Mermaid, wanted to be a part of the human world. Of course the song, Part of Your World, came to mind, so I used that as my title.

I composed this spread like I did the other one. I used an old book page, white doilies and those florals. But I did add a few pen scribbles, some gold glitter washi tape that I cut into half circles, and some gold ink splatters. I ended up using these huge white alphas to spell out “world” and smaller gold alphas for the rest of the title.

I feel like these two spread nicely compliment each other in a way. But I think it’s because I had to work with the pages in my book that were in front of me and they both were similar with the one blank page and the white gessoed floral opposing page. I also used similar alphas for the title, which make them look like sisters. But of course, the Queen is in gold and the Princess is in white.

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
