Art Journal Page - 'Reach'

I finished this little number today! I still find it amazing that I can start with a plain white cardstock, absolutely no direction or outcome in mind, then ink, brayer, glue, stitch, blend, flick etc and I wind up with something I really like!  

   

"Falling Apart"

I started this page off with a stencil experiment that went awry and wondered what the heck am I going to do with this. I'm always kind of anxious when I do a page, is it perfect? it is good enough? does it have meaning? (what is that anyway?) so to start off on a page that I already deemed ruined I didn't have any inhibitions or worries about what I put on it. I felt very free. I used the scraps and offcuts on my desk and just stuck them down. From there added my favourite textures, covered up more mistakes and kept going with the crackle paint and spritzing until I was happy. This has to be one of my favourite pages. Lesson learnt:  LET GO!!!!
