It's been a long time since I did a page in my art journal and after reading the quote on a friend's blog, it prompted me to quickly put a page together. The quote is by Mary Oliver
"I feel my boots trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart pumping hard.
I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings."
I do not know where I am finding the courage to finally try new techniques and use up supplies I've had stored away for years but I am loving expressing myself in this way. I love Suzibluetube's videos on Youtube and having read Visual Chronicles recently (and other art books too) certainly has spurred me on. I'm finding art cathartic on this journey to heal myself, express myself and really learn about who I am and what I want.
Today's page was made using scraps of paper I had lying around, yes, I usually have joss paper in my house, magazine cut out and a vintage photo I bought last week.
Click to enlarge. Hover over the picture to see embedded notes that lead to photos of certain items/scenes.
p.8 Our first day out alone—got to try out my Bangla-speaking skills. Got too excited ordering mishti. We meet Sandip. Taking a taxi where the driver needs to hot-wire it every time he turns the engine off at a light. Sealdah train station is awash in people.
p.9 A long train, our sleeper car is all the way at the end.
An art journal page that I did with my sister when she came to visit me. She made a page for her room mate, and I just used this one to demonstrate the technique that I was teaching her. :)
The photo is all wrinkly though!! ;o;
