Daily Journaling

Daily journaling has kind of fallen behind. Too much happening in my life. Doctor this, doctor that, test this, test that, negative this, negative that, but no definitive answers. It is getting old. I felt the need to make a post. Hahahaha! And I found these daily journal pages I had not posted. So here you go. This page has various bits and pieces. The background was made with stamps I made using foam sheets. The little squares were colored with sprays I made using Ecoline Liquid watercolors. I believe the flowers were all colored with FINETEC watercolors. 

This page was from August 13, 2021. A month ago. Sorry. It uses more of those little 2" blocks from the previous page and a 3" block I watercolored. The tile at the top right just kind of came together. After I colored it - it looked like a person sitting there. A Sasquatch kind of person. Hahahaha! Fun page. For my daily journaling I am working in a Harmony hot pressed watercolor journal from Hahnemühle. And right now I am averaging about once a month, but I hope to get better.   

I was cleaning out a pen drawer and found some Sharpie paint pens I hadn't used before. The pink and blue. So I grabbed my Black Book from Hahnemühle and started adding lines. They worked great! 

And I tried a little shading with a white General's charcoal pencil. Meh. 

I also started playing in an Indigo Art Papers book. The pages are handmade and can be a challenge to draw on. But they hold color so wonderfully! For this one I colored the entire page first. Just mottled color here and there. Then I drew the flowers and painted some greens and teals over the background surrounding the florals. That's it. Looks hard but it was simple. And you could totally do this. 

And that's it for today. Healthwise - all tests and labs so far have come back negative, but we know something caused the fluid to build up on my lung to the point that they drained over a gallon away. I need that not to happen again. There is a minor surgery scheduled for Monday, then I wait for the lung biopsy appointment. I appreciate all your prayers and well wishes. You guys are the best!
