Sometimes creative play in an art journal can be quite fulfilling.
I am discovering the joy of adding collage papers and marks without a outcome in mind.
This page I used a greeting card of a Ladybug that someone sent me. I altered it a little with my whole punch:
I had fun exploring funky flower shapes in this one and black and white stems:
My last one is a work in progress. As you can see, it involves BUGS!
I will show my completed page to you next week!
I encourage you to make time for creative play in your art making.
Happy Friday!
Cheers! π
A most excellent pastime, Jill, is that creative play where art is concerned. I make a complete mess sometimes, but still enjoy getting there! π

Hi Tom, I think making a mess is part of the process! π At least giving ourselves permission to make a mess if needed. βΊοΈ

I certainly don’t need permission for that, Jill. More often than not it happens naturally with me!
