This journal spread was done in my large Dylusions journal. It is a double spread with room to add a journal paper to the left side. This particular spread was a deeply moving and restorative process.
Not much different than mixed media, our personal stories of both tragedy and victory have many many layers. In the creating of these pages, I am writing a story as well. The layers speak. Under the layers are my innermost feelings, wishes, fears etc 🙂 But mostly, hope. When I create, it feels like dead things fall away and I get to experience another layer of healing…
There is always more to each persons story…so be kind. Love. Hug. Give extra patience. You never know what they might be going through 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the video!
