And here’s page seven.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. It’s hard not to compare. Especially to someone who’s already reached your goals. Someone who’s ahead of the game. The thing is we always compare someone’s best with our worst. Isn’t that silly?
A few people have been asking me about my book. I’m using the same book I used a few months ago. It’s an old 7gypsies chipboard book filled with all sorts of pages. Chipboard, paper, watercolor paper, copic paper, normal paper, etc. I pick pages at random depending on my mood and just do whatever I feel like.
Yes, stop comparing yourself, Karen. Heed your advice and all will be well.
I love this page. So true! We could all use that page in our lives.
I love your blog! I love the way you do art journaling, which is new for me, I hope you don’t mind me asking… is there a way to post ( I mean you lol) how did you make this pages? like a tutorial for us newbies? I really like them a lot, thanks so much for sharing them with us 🙂
I love this pic of the art journal, plus your idea of a mixture of different textured papers to use. I’m feeling really tempted to try one, too. Your pages are beautiful.
I have 2 friends that are bonafide “artists”. I am always afraid to show them what I do because it isn’t up to standards. But you know what? It’s me. My art. And I enjoy doing it and I love(sometimes) how it turns out. We have to be accepting of ourselves first before we can expect anyone else to accept us.We are Unique.
