Way out of the Box

Welll....I did it!  I opened up one of my journals again and did some art.  I guess that is what you call this.  I was blog surfing (that sounds so much cooler then hopping) this morning and found this link....Creative Revolution and I said to myself, wow...that looks easy enough.  I have not opened a journal in over a month.  I started with Nudge #1 - cover a page completely with paper and fabric scraps.  This is so not me.  I am much more methodical.  I did it anyways, and I even like it.  So, if you are in a creative slump check out Diana Trout's blog for ways to spark up the flame of needing to be creative.  ***She is actually up to Nudge #3 but who is counting!!***
This is so busy I am not sure exactly what I will end up doing with it.  I hear my gesso calling my name.

yay! for you. I'm starting mine in a few minutes. Look forward to seeing what you create.

Lovely, Lisa! I like the continuity of the pink circles to unify it all! Keep going; I want to see what you end up with!

Gesso just takes away all the fun busyness you made here! How about just writing or drawing in the blank spots? Or if you have to unify it (it looks good to me as is) try a sheer layer of color rather than gesso.

What fun! The busy, colorful page provides so much to see and search for connections. Sometimes I've used a light watercolor wash. First try it on something first.

Thanks for the link - I love the idea of a creative revolution!

Enjoy :)
