photo diary: rome, italy

July 20, 2016

rome, italy

After five days in Southern Italy, I took the train up to Rome for three nights. I don’t really like Rome all too much. I visited back in 2012 and stayed a week too long. There’s not much to see or do in Rome once you’ve seen and done everything (and what I mean by everything is all the touristy sites). I suppose there’s more to do in Rome, but as I don’t know any locals, for me, it was just a stop before I take a flight to Barcelona.

Yet being in Rome again, I did do everything over again. The hostel I stayed at was walking distance to everything really, if you’re find walking an hour to Vatican City (which doesn’t seem as long as you may think). It was closest to the Colosseum, so of course I did that first. It was unfortunate though because the entire Forum was under construction. Actually, a lot of things in Rome was under construction. The Spanish Steps were completely closed off to everyone because it was being renovated. The Trevi Fountain was finished though, so was St. Peter’s Basilica.

While I don’t really like Rome, I did enjoy watching the sunset over the Vatican. My friend and I were just wandering around one evening when we found ourselves near some church that appeared in Angels & Demons, the movie with Tom Hanks. So of course, we followed Google to it only to find out that it was right next to Vatican City. So we walked over to the Basilica and chilled out there for a while. I was able to capture some pretty photos of the sky changing colors over St. Peter’s Basilica and it was just really lovely. It was a Sunday so there weren’t many people in the square, so it was a very quiet evening. It was nice.

Other than that, not much was done in Rome. Just a lot of walking around taking photos of monuments I had already seen before and eating a lot of Italian food before heading off to Spain.

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
