Art Journal Pages #5 & #6

These pages have been long due...they were done inside an old 2008 planner.  Pages were glued together to make then sturdier, some collage and then painted the backgrounds.

A closer look:

 

This is to remind myself that, yes, I am okay. The words I highlighted are Miracles, forgiveness, free and peace. For miracles to happen in our life - we need to let go and to forgive..then we are free, and with that freedom comes peace.

Journaling: Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. --Emily Dickenson

Inside the pocket, I put in slips of paper with quotes that inspire me to keep hoping and believing in myself:

-Reach High, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

-Butterfly? It's what you were meant to become. It flies with beautiful wings and joins the earth to heaven. It drinks only nectar from the flowers and carries the seeds of love from one flower to another--- from one of my favorite books Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus

Materials Used:
Acrylics, Watercolor, pages from an old thesaurus, while paint pen, colored pencils, stabilo fine point colored pen.
