"I am so clever that sometimes I do not understand a single word of what I am saying." ~ Oscar Wilde
I actually tend to think I am so absent minded that I forget what I am saying. Have you ever been in a conversation and just stopped because you could not remember what you were going to say? How does that happen--I was talking about "it"and suddenly it just disappeared from the cerebral cortex within the brain (or where ever it processes)?
I took on an art journal challenge to use only black, white, and one accent color which had to be droopy in nature, and I had to use patterns in an inch like form. I must have been in quite a mood because I wrote some interesting things around my journal page. Now, I appreciate how I chose to use the dog and cat images with that mood;)
The challenge called for us to either to use zentangles or patterns. I don't particularly like zentangles because I keep thinking it is all about rules, and doodling should just be...doodling. To help me along, I used stamps and then added lines, squiggles, and dots to connect everything together. The blue accent is watercolor that I blew across the page to capture the droopy paint part of the challenge.
I also created a journal for the
Artful Rising shop with Oscar's quote. This would be fun to fill with stories of personal adventures and anecdotes or just rantings (my favorite way to process).
