I have a bunch of little journals for this year. They are small, around 3.5”x5.5” . It’s my goal to fill them but I am not sure if you are anything like me, but I have journal issues. Firstly, I have a hard time starting at the the beginning of any journal and I usually flick to the middle. Secondly, I find it even more difficult keeping my images in them for two reasons because if it’s a great piece, then it’s stuck in there and if it’s a bad piece then it is stuck in there too. I wish I had the courage to just let it be, whether it’s good or bad…. but I’m working on it.

This tiny love was in my little journal but at the end of painting her, I pulled her out but mainly because I wanted to do a test run on getting her block mounted. I am so glad I did. It’s a wonderful little piece.

I have started another tiny love painting in this journal and I will see how I go about leaving her in there. I have another little journal that I’m filling with graphite drawings for practice and another will be filled with images for my ideas around #100days of something idea. I will share more about that in the next post or two.

I guess it’s more steps towards letting go and not always being bound in the final finished product but more about being in the moment and the process too.
