Abstract Collage Page in my Fragments Junk Journal
As weird as it looks in the picture this collage was like the state I was in when I started playing in my journal.
If we are much time out of our journal, and out of making regular practicing, when we show up again it's difficult to start and it looks weird and ugly.
However we acknowledge that, and we keep playing.
There are no rules, beautiful or ugly. Just showing up to your art practice and feeling comfortable creating, enjoying the process, and having fun.
When people say to me that they have difficulty starting, I think it's because of fear of self-judgment. As you kind of think that an artist opens their journal and makes a masterpiece on the first page after weeks without practicing.
That doesn't happen to anyone, so don't be hard on yourself.
This is only my journal. I play and explore. I could not share it with anyone. So, why be afraid of making a mess?
We never lose anything only learn and go further. 😍
Exploring my creativity through paper buttons for days, I realized I was missing my art journal. As I poured out my thoughts and emotions onto the page, a sense of confusion took over. But as the colors and textures of my inner world came to life, beautiful chaos emerged. Despite the chaos and confusion, we keep exploring. This is only my art journal. Creating with fragments in my fragments journal.
