20 Years

Wednesday was the 20th anniversary of the day my husband and I were married. You may notice that he appears frequently in my gratitude journal this week. That is no coincidence. I am so grateful for the life we have shared together. He has been such a support and joy through so many adventures. I look forward to the next 20 years with him. Can you tell by his expression how cold it was outside?

These flowers were practice for the collage I have been working on. I finished it this week and I’m looking to have prints made. This will be the first time I’m having prints made of something with 3 dimensional components so it has posed some new challenges. I plan to include a photo or other image of the finished product in my gratitude journal because it has been such a rewarding project.

I have been playing with game components in creating my anniversary gift to my husband. It has been so much fun to play and I look forward to including opportunities to play as much as I can in my life. What have you played lately?

Hearts of Joy

My yoga teacher closes our classes with a moment of gratitude for our hearts of joy. It is one of the many beautiful aspects of my yoga class that I love. I have been doing a lot of different kinds of art in the last week or so and the pages of my gratitude journal reflect that variety.

Zen Space

I wasn’t going to do the Zentangle Challenge this week because I’m getting ready to teach a collage class and I haven’t been feeling great. However. I thought I would just see what the challenge was. It is called “A Little White Space” and that is an idea I have been thinking about lately. So…
Here is my Zen Space for the Diva CTZ Zentangle Challenge #155

Old School Art

I really like the juxtaposition of these 2 styles of art from my childhood – spirograph and and simple washes of paint. I am so grateful for my friends and not just because they loan me their vintage spirograph!

I think the metaphors and materials that I used for these other gratitude journal entries speak for themselves. I have everything I need.

Weekly Challenge #153

I am going to create a new category for my Zentangle tiles. I like the idea of doing the weekly challenges from the http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/ website, so I will post them separately from my journal.

At least we didn’t die

At least we didn't die

The title for this post is a line in a quote from Buddha that cracks me up. Some days it is the act of working in a gratitude journal and the knowledge that I need to count some blessings for each day that is what I am grateful for. This first journal page is a combination of an inspired page that came out of who knows where and a page wherein I counted my blessings in green ink. The inspired page came as a result of my reading the book Push Paper that you can find in my GoodReads widget on the side bar. I LOVE this book. It is so beautiful and inspiring! and look what I put together as my simple homage to all the talented artists featured in the book.

at least we didnt die

I guess I could have called this post the power of paper. That brings me back to the Buddha quote. I have put this in past journals as well. I collect so many quotes and poems and I love to include them. I have actually gotten a little bit away from that as I have been exploring different art media, but I hope you enjoy this combination of a new technique and a favorite quote.

push paper and yoga

Yoga and gesso. Need I say more? The facing page is quite a contrast to that simplicity. More of the power of paper!

Speaking of the power of paper, or more accurately the alternatives to paper. I wanted to thank all of you who have paid attention to my blog. I just recently exceeded 1,000 total views and 100 followers. This started off as a conversation with mostly myself and a friend of mine and I have greatly appreciated the community I have discovered!
