    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 30

    Yesterday’s prompt was “Daughters” by John Mayer.

    Yesterday was the last day of NaNoJouMo.  I was able to do all the prompts.  This was the first time I art journaled with prompts.  I found it a bit difficult as I didn’t enjoy most of the songs but I always came up with something.

    This page is rather boring but I was pretty tired when I was creating it.

    I tried to do some graffiti writing but noticed I was running out of space so I had to smush the letters at the end.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 27

    Wednesday’s prompt was “Stop This Train” by John Mayer.

    When I heard the song I had an image of a child looking in a mirror and seeing the reflection of an adult version of herself and the image of the the adult version looking in the mirror and seeing the child version of herself.    Since my journal is spiral I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this.  I didn’t think it would have the same affect if I did one page with the younger version and another with the older version.  so I thought of a way to cover up the wires that would allow the two pages to be connected as well as allow the journal to still close properly.  I think it worked pretty well.

    I used some large index cards to cover up the wire. I folded the index cards so that the journal can close without any problems and also so it doesn’t ruin the page when closed.

    The page took me 3 days to complete because of the holiday.  On Wednesday I created the background, mirror, the child and the child’s reflection.  On Thursday I was only able to create the woman and the woman’s reflection.  Today I added my words to finish the page.  When I was working on Thursday I was pretty tired and failed to realize that the woman was too tall before gluing her down but I think you can still understand what I was trying to do. I wanted to write more about growing up but I didn’t want to clutter the pages.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 26

    Today’s prompt is “Bigger Than My Body” by John Mayer.

    I like how the lady turned out.  I think she might be one of my best. The handwriting could have been better though.  I noticed I have been using blues and purples a lot; so I decided to change it up and use a different color.

    I don’t care for this one at all.  My circles were so wobbly and the black boxes aren’t straight.
