I'm always ready to dive right in. It's not as overwhelming and I LOVE being able to make art in a short period of time!<br /><br />@Janine, YES! :)<br /><br />@Deb, Simple is fine. As long as you are happy and content with the pages and they say what you want them to say, that is all that matters. Thank you for the kind words.<br /><br />@stitch It's funny as I wasn't always drawn to images of folks either. I am more drawn to using feminine imagery in my work. I use what I identify with and that's all that matters. Use what you feel most comfortable and drawn to. :)Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-62289196796306433542012-09-09T05:31:58.172-07:002012-09-09T05:31:58.172-07:00I really know what you mean.

It's very, very rare that I'll pick out an image of a person. Not sure why - it's just the way I am :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-59863825945488147632012-09-08T19:52:04.654-07:002012-09-08T19:52:04.654-07:00Hi Kelly..I tend to pick images that reflect my mo...Hi Kelly..I tend to pick images that reflect my mood, or one that will remind me of something that has happened in my life and I take it from there. My pages seem a little simple..but over all I.m pleased. I learned a lot from you work shop in the city.

I love pink but don't use it much. But I keep thinking I need some of that hot pink washi tape you love. <br /><br />I also have files of images that I use but I don't have a NOW stash so maybe that's why collaging isn't so effortless for me. Maybe that should be my next step. As always, thanks for sharing your process!!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033556563428991111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-30499934497385135712012-09-08T11:18:17.393-07:002012-09-08T11:18:17.393-07:00Y E S!!!!

Yes, I still beat myself up over stupid crap but I won't allow it for my art. ;)<br /><br />I hope you're feeling better soon. Try not to beat yourself up over art making. Concentrate on getting well and healing. Fill your creative well with books, movies, music, whatever makes you happy and feeling better until you can start creating again.<br /><br />Big hugs,<br /><br />Kelly<br />Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-32970912256593526202012-09-07T16:04:25.619-07:002012-09-07T16:04:25.619-07:00Thanks again for reinterating the how to for your ...Thanks again for reinterating the how to for your journal pages, which you know I admire. You make it sound so simple and I have to learn not to antagnoize over each page!!<br />Havent been creating as was having knee replacement surgery. I thought when I got home I would go to town. But find I am too exhausted and with PT, OT< nurse and aide here most days well you can see what happens. Soon I hope.<br />Patqtrish quiltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541903986759597945noreply@blogger.com
