Dream Journal Page

I used the Copics for her face and the flower and a rub on (love em!!) for the lettering. This is my favorite fabric journal and I seem to be better at putting something in this one. My process is to just do it--put something in it--anything, and work intuitively. I wonder if the "intuitive muscle" can grow stronger... or is it the confidence in the intuitition that gets stronger. Kinda like--what came first the chicken or the egg? Actually, not really like that. :))

"No Think Thursday"

This one above is my favorite and is actually much cuter in real live.

Above is my second favorite--CREATE--is actually a very poorly hand- carved stamp.

Sometimes I try to create without thinking (can you tell? :)---well, you know what I mean by that...I try not to think it out too much but just start putting color, stamps, frames, collage or just whatever and see what emerges. (Sometimes it delights me...sometimes it doesn't!) But what I try to do is say to myself  is, "Can this piece be salvaged before I drown it in gesso?" I try to also use some of my supplies that have been pushed to the back and not used in a while (that will take a few lifetimes to get through that).  It's hard to do this without thinking that it might not have a purpose other than it was an intuitive little ditty just for the sake of creating a little ditty.  If something emerges for the Etsy shop then great...if not...it's ok(yeah right--try prying the hammer out of my hand before I start beating myself over the head with it!).  So on some Thursdays I will try to post some little "no think" ditties. Here are a few . They are on 5x7 panels. Some of these might turn into "Hangy Thangies" for the Etsy shop but......we'll see. And I want to create some more Knobetts....well we'll see...
