for this page, i used crayola erasable twistables for the background, then erased lines to write on. the text on the first two lines refers to what i was then...when i was abused, and the first ten years following. the next two lines are about what i'm like now. the fifth line refers to the future, and the last line is a quote from Rabbi Label Lam, from a speech he said at the Ohr Naava Shabbaton...i believe last year.
Whoa... are on the same brainwaves? Slightly?
ReplyDelete(This is gorgeous btw... I love your creativity!)
This is great! I love the colours, and the words are brilliant. :)
ReplyDeleteas always, i had a lot of help with it...i don't remember where i got the prompt from (i really have to start writing down my sources, so i can credit the people who give me my ideas!), but i didn't know what i was going to do with the colored background until after it was done, and i had erased the lines for writing. i flipped through my book of ideas, and that one sorta popped out at me. then, i had a TON of help coming in, i texted most of my friends asking for words describing me then and now...i was kinda hoping to leave out the quote at the bottom, and fill it with my hopes of words i want to be used to describe the "future me" but i got stuck, and couldn't ask for help on that one...
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this...the beauty. I like the circular nature of it...for I believe healing is circular in nature...not linear.
ReplyDeleteI also like the progression in the words you wrote. They show your journey...and you don't stop in the present...you express hope for the future.
I know you ran out of words for the future, but I think the quote expresses it well. You will keep growing and getting better. Yay!
Really an amazing piece of art!
ReplyDeleteLS, each one gets better! Your art journal is so good! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
one survivor-welcome! and thanks for stopping by! yeah, the quote does fit well...i use it all the time. it continues beyond that, but i wanted to put the source rather than the rest of the quote.
ReplyDeleteitsagift-thanks! and what else would i do with my art, besides share it with all of you?? ;-)
Love this one... I am really enjoying your healing through art.... thanks for sharing. It's amazing the way creativity and art help us be more in touch with who we are where we're going and everything in between. Thanks again!

He didn't say it last year. I know cuz I was there and you were already quoting it. :-D
ReplyDeleteLove this one!
*me*, no, not that shabbaton, the other one i went on. i went to two last year ;-)
ReplyDeletevery cool idea! I've never tried the erasables. Just saw them recently in a store. Thanks for the tip. I will have to try them.
ReplyDeletebecky, they are SO much fun to use! i got them for free with a coupon+a discount, and i've loved them ever since they landed in my art supplies!
