art journal - "fly"

Wow ... what a week. I've been able to take a couple of minutes today and finally put together this week's journal page. I believe when we embrace who we really are - we are beautiful - and our soul can really fly.


I actually started over from my first ugly attempt. I glued a black and white printed tissue paper over my mistake - you can see the colors through the white areas. One of the four butterflies reflects the decision to be yourself, not a cookie cutter of everyone else. I also stapled a transparency over the entire page and journaled on top with a white paint pen.
