Spiritual Growth Journal Play

  A quick post for today-as the weather becomes increasingly warm and beautiful it's getting harder and harder to spend alot of time inside whether it's at the computer or in the art room. I hope wherever you are you are enjoying the season.

  I'm half way thru my online stamp carving class (click on icon at right in the side bar for class info) and have another post on lesson 5 coming soon. But for now I'll share a journal spread I'm working on (it doesn't look finished to me). This is for Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's Art Journal Everyday Project. Anyone can play along at any time and there are no commitments so if you've done some art journaling Julie has a post each week you can link your pages to. It's also a great way to meet others who post their pages and there's always lots of inspiration and ideas.

  Growing spiritually is something I'm always working on. However, it seems that especially in Spring (which in itself is a time of renewal and growth) I begin to meditate and read more about our connections to the universe and the power we have within ourselves-pretty amazing. Ok, I won't go any further than this, just wanted to explain where this spread came from.




  Obviously, I'm still spraying away with Dylusions ink sprays! I was playing around with my carved chevron stamps from Lesson 4  which you can read about by clicking on the link. I kept thinking about a path so I found this quote that I felt went with this page and the words "spiritual growth".
I'll leave you with the quote I used. Have a beautiful weekend. Thank you for stopping by.

  "The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one."

  3. Hi Linda, thank you for your encouraging words on my blog :). Spiritual growth, I can relate to that. I have started doing yoga almost every other day for a year now and I notice that my mind is calmer and more sensitive to my surroundings. LOVE the vivid colors in the pages :))
