Day 5 of 7
of Kasia Avery's
Soothe Me
art journal event.
I had already prepped my old typing manual pages
with a wash of diluted white gesso primer
by Daler-Rowney.
The three circles were drawn
with a black Posca paint pen.
Words were written
with a black Pigma Micron pen,
then rewritten over in a white Posca paint pen.
The circles were filled with torn painted paper,
mixed from Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paints
(Ruby & Lemon) with white gesso on top,
then colour added to the rest of the page
with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons
(picked raspberry/spiced marmalade/mustard seed).
I am trying to use a different medium each day.
Then I added the date stamp.
Today we were suppose to let our emotions out.
No trouble there then.
They are bubbling there, just under the surface.
Raw & deep felt.
I am sad, because I saw my parents today,
unable to kiss or hug either of them
was just too painful.
I feel like the world is
spiralling out of control
& there is nothing I can do.
I feel helpless,
completely helpless.
