a diary of words, paper and other ephemeral things

Tag: journal flip through

  • self-inquiry with paper

    what works? what doesn’t work? what’s necessary? what feels like a boulder?

  • I love a finished journal

    This is six weeks of morning pages and journal prompts (and a little bit extra).

  • we are doing things outside of our comfort zone

    Art started this morning after my morning pages live; then finished this afternoon once the bottom layers dried.

    I’m doing my morning pages Monday through Fridays (at least) around 5:15am CST on TikTok live; you can join me there and work along if you like!

  • First pages, last pages

  • enough

    Contemplating the essay for this week: why do we tell ourselves our art isn’t enough? why do we shame ourselves for creating something that is valuable to ourselves but perhaps no one else? How can we transmute that feeling and show up anyways?

  • More journal magic plus I finished a sweater

  • More abstract collage; grateful for this

    Found my way back to inspiration for my favorite form of expression. Often I will go on creative sprints and then feel the need to take a break from this particular medium. Always a happy return. Completed after doing some Oracle art tonight. Readings still available in my Etsy, and they include a lovely one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork to go along with your message, affirmation and prompts. shops on sale 25% until Valentine’s Day.

    Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

    Collage pages in my travelers notebook

    My inner critic has not been kind to my abstract collage practice. Especially as I move through it quickly, and the pages become sparse to invite tension between the elements.

    The simple layers and the shapes they make intrigue me. Lately the white space has been playing with me, inviting me to use less material for more dramatic effect. I can imagine stories of each one. They are simple, yet intricate and profound. I could fill books and books with pages like these.

    I like to ask others what they see in the shapes
