Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom
Aristotle
Stretching myself and creating my first art journal
AND altered book!
The first prompt in this journey of introspection…
is to create a self portrait with thought bubbles.
As with anything in art journals…
I took a little liberty with the prompt.
I made my first attempt at drawing a ‘whimsical girl’
after watching this video here.
This season of introspection also goes along well with
my one little word for the year
ENOUGH…
believing that I am enough.
I chose to share my thoughts in the curls of her hair,
rather than actual thought bubbles
(again, a little liberty in the art journal world)
And while I look at this and see lots of mistakes
I am choosing to view them as lessons
and areas where learning has taken place,
as well as learning to embrace my word…
and embrace that what I have created is enough…
I hope you enjoy and would love to know your thoughts!
