Shared this and other pages at OPEN STUDIO this afternoon.
I worked on this page yesterday, since I was unable to go to work -had a doctor's appointment about the fracture in my knee !

 

I wrote a selection of ideas from Art Journal summer issue on post-its and scattered them throughout my date book. Yesterday's said to do a page half in text and half image.

 

 

September twelfth, 2013

One year and one day after the nightmare in NYC,DC, AND PA.

Rain's steady beat punctuated by now distant thunder.

A crow caws persistently; a single tree frog chirps timidly.

Wounds heal.

What have we learned?

My knee problems have forced me to be sedentary, and have been doing some fun art work.

I splattered watercolors, then created a doodle art ATC and attached it.

I like the Journal page (the top image)  so much - doing it and looking at it - that I decided to dedicate a whole sketchbook to similar work. I've been spraying pages using stencils, and masks, and creating a stack of cards with tangled doodle art.

I made the spiral, hand and leaf stencils, the other is a plastic thing that was on a laptop/keyboard.
