Art Journal Caravan Week 21 - Hope

And just for fun . . .

Color Me Positive Week 14 Challenge - Hope

Yep. It's silly. But cupcakes give me hope. Maybe there will be a big cake yet to come!

Our Hope

Revisiting Word For The Year

I've been fighting a virus for a month, so I haven't done much in the way of creating art. This is week 51 in the Art Journal Caravan, though, and that means the caravan for 2013 is almost done. For week 51, we were suppose to revisit the word we selected at the beginning of the year for our "word of the year." The Port-of-Call for December has been Scandinavia, which means there is lots of red and white. The word I chose last January was hope. We can always keep on going if we don't let go of our hope.

I joined the Art Journal Caravan for 2014. It is the last year Tangie Baxter over at scrapbookgraphics.com will be hosting the caravan. Creating digital art for the themes provided each week has brought me hours of enjoyment. Here's hoping 2014 will be a creatively productive year. A much healthier one, too!

Life Book 2013 - Week 5

Kelly Hoernig has been the instructor for week 5 of Life Book 2013. She had us think of a map that contained obstacles but also good things that would keep us moving forward during this year. She also wanted us to choose a word that would be our word to concentrate on for the entire year. I already chose that word for the Art Journal Caravan 2013. My word for this year is "hope." As usual, my mixed media piece ended up being crazy, but as my new motto says, "Aim for the concept, not the reality."

Art Journal Caravan 2013 - Select A Word For Year

The theme for this year's art journal caravan is traveling around the world. We were asked to choose a word for the year, and create a passport stamp using it. Since I'm always battling depression and anxiety, I chose the word "hope." We won't give up if we hang unto hope!

Hope Named Gone

Don't panic! I don't need any cheering up. This is just some late night art therapy . . .

Sorrow verses Hope

Sometimes we all ask why and need to feed our spiritual side.
