Art Journal Challenge - #2 - Brave

Being BRAVE is hard for some of us... we are afraid to show courage in what we do or believe in.
Are you BRAVE? What was the last BRAVE thing you did?

For this challenge... show some white space, and some paint splotches.. that you have turned into something else.

For example.... I dropped paint and smashed it about, leaving lots of white space, and then drew the flower as that is what I saw after the paint dried.



Can't wait to see what you do!! {{HUGS}}

Great page and an even greater ... journal. I am so much like that ... accomodating others and not standing up for myself.

Good Job, Helen!

Beautiful!!

Thanks Linda and Carla!

Oh that is just beautiful. Great job. My latest brave thing was taking in a foster child after being out of that business for more than 10 years.

Wonderful page and beautiful journaling.

Here is mine:

Lisa, awesome and so fast! Love the journaling.

Wow, Helen, I love the bright colors and your journaling. 2 1/2 hrs!?! Are you kidding me?!?! Good for you for standing up for yourself!

Lisa, I love yours! Love the colors and your journaling is spot on.


Awesome job ladies!!

Thanks ladies... and yes Stephanie.. that long! I was livid!

Lisa... LVOE your journaling page and how honest you are. To be brave is to let go!! Simply stunning!

Thanks Helen for this challenge. It was hard to write. But it did hit me just the other day. So long I've been trying to control not suffering, not hurting and not dying. And all I've done is suffer 1000x over. It won't be easy to give it up but I need to do so, or my life will be that one horrid day over and over again. And I lived. So I can't do that. We'll see though how easy it is to put this epiphany into practice.

Wow, you've both done some really deep journalling. I think this is going to be a fun page making splotches and smooshing paint.

I'm thinking...I have evolved into brave...so I will have to think this one over...

I'm thinking childbirth would be what my LO will be about. You know, I was much braver about it with my first! The more I have the more brave I have to be!

I am almost finished with mine. I did the paint last night & am going to finish it today.

Can't wait to see it Stephanie!!

I'm thinking it's a little busy. I've gotta start making myself stop while I'm ahead! LOL

Awesome Stephanie, love your little critters!!!

Oops, forgot about the white space part. I got so excited with my dripping paint. LOL I'll do another one.

Oh but what a lovely page Stephanie. Love you paint splotch bugs.

Thank you Linda & Gail!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your page Stephanie!!! Those little butterflies and critters are just gorgeous!! And aweome journaling.. I totally feel the same way lots of times!!

And I can see "white space" ,,, you did awesome!!! Go ahead and do another if you like, just saying that this one rocks!!

Thanks girls! It's growing on me I used a medicine dropper & dripped the paint from it - it was fun
