I joined
Lisa Sonora Beam's thirty day journal project called ROOT. Lisa sends a daily prompt, inspiring quotes and some words she has to say about the day's theme. Then I create a journal page from whatever inspires me from reading the prompt. Sometimes I draw out one word. Today is was Dazzle.
Yesterday it was about solitude and loneliness. I made two journals of 15 pages each for this project. I use acrylics, stencils, markers, glitter. The project has a closed to members only Facebook page where we can share our daily work and thoughts if we want. It's fun to see what other's are doing.
For this one I photocopied a picture of me onto vellum. I am using at least one dragonfly on each page as a mascot to follow me through the month.
The inspirational quote this day was from Rilke. "I want to unfold. Let nothing in me hold itself closed. For where I am closed, I am false. I want to be clear in your sight."
This is the cover of one of the two journals.
I have been making similar journals on my own for several years. But it is fun to share with others. Not so alone. I admit it is hard to be disciplined on a daily basis. When I work on my own I have a flow of work more natural to my rhythms. Hope I make it to the end!

Wow - you are ambitious! as well as creative :) I am particularly drawn to the first one posted here. It has a cosmic feel to it - which of course my "mystic" nature likes :) And the dragonflies are such a wonderful totem. They are about breaking down our illusions that restrict us, so we can unfold and fly free :) Kind of fits with the Rilke poem too! Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces of yourself with us!...
Such a warm spirit and colors to these pages. I like the dragonfly flying through ... to me ... full of hope!
I'm so glad you're doing this! I get vicarious pleasure from it, almost as if I were in the room smelling the paints.
You will make it Suki. I love your pages. You are so creative!
Wow lovely pages Suki! What a great idea like this.... I have tried journaling , but I can't.I am not happy with the results, maybe I should practice more
But you are a magician with paper dear

Lovely journal pages, good luck! xoxo
I can see that these journal pages have been a creative outlet for you.
sometimes community is just what it takes to jump start some new avenues of exploration - enjoy the fellowship!
What a wonderful project, and discipline Suki. Have fun in the process. I love the dragonfly following on each page. Love it all. Thanks for sharing here too. I agree having a group to work with is inspirational. I find that in the Somewhere To Sketch group Ann Hyde and I started.
