Week 12

Now it's time for the wordy week of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's art journaling week.

Here's more inspiration: Kreative Koncept's Journal Journey February 2015

Week 11

Read this: art journal every day, a weekly plan
and do it.
Dedicate one of the following 5 weeks to each of these different ways of art journaling, and do the exercises. I believe every creative person is capable of all kinds of creativity, and experimenting with something different from what you do every day will cause ripples through your whole life.

So - this week we'll do painty.
Week 12 it's wordy
Week 13 collage-ish
Week 14 scrapbook-ish
and
Week 15 doodler

I love Suzi Dennis' videos. Very inspiring, I think :-)

Week 10

 I love Vicky :-) She has a lot of inspiring art journal videos on YouTube.

Some things I have been ruminating is how everything is connected and how much power over our own lives we have. The human mind is a powerful tool. Placebo effect exists. Happiness is not connected to things like money, material goods, children, education, not even health. Happiness is 100% in our mind...

Another thing, that's connected to art journaling, that I've been thinking about is paper.

People wanted to know what deli paper is.
Deli paper is the same paper as sandwich wrapping paper or food basket lining paper. It's thin, waxed paper.
Parchment paper, baking paper, bakery paper is not waxed. Its non-stick qualities are created by special production that slightly "gelatinizes" the paper. Waxed paper is not suitable for baking on, because the wax (or oil) used to make it melts in hot temperature.

Week 9

I like this series of art journaling "play dates" :-) This is episode 15, there's some 26 or so uploaded. 

Omens and signs

Firstly, get Callia Underhill's great book on divination.
In that book, she explains how to create your own system of symbols

Then I was thinking about Adrian Calabrese's Sacred Signs... now, I think the book is rather stupid and not very well written, but I do believe she has a point. I do believe there are no co-incidents.
Nevertheless, whether you believe in "signs" or not, the point is to believe IN YOU.
Any reason to make up your mind is about as valid as any other reason. 
They have studied people in dangerous situations, and those who survive are those who DO SOMETHING. They do what they think of doing, without analyzing and contemplating.
So, if you find tarot cards helpful in the process of making up your mind, use them.
If it helpful to believe in signs and omens, and keep your eyes open for such, do so.
