journal challenge days 168, 169 & 170

wow… i have a ton of days to catch up on right now for my art journal challenge. just went back and counted and i have over 30 days if i want to finish in a year. it’s been hard to get back in the groove everything going on lately. but i forced myself to finish these pages today.

journal entry: sometimes i think rest is the most important part of the creative process. we think we always have to be producing. always doing… when really the most productive thing we could do is rest. sometimes we have to commit to rest, and we have to force ourselves to do it. so that we can return strengthened. to receive the next thing.

materials used: acrylic paint, collage, india ink, vintage fabric, pen.
