I love words
I love playing with words
and my art journals got married
life became much more interesting...
I also love playing along with Michelle Ward
and her inspiring Crusades
these prompts have played a big part
in my joy of journaling...
word play journal pages here
these united by the use of black gesso
and spare writing/words
where a word is the focus
and here - the journaling is
I love to journal
it now shapes my dailiness
I can look at any page
and know:
what was happening,
how I felt,
and I can retrieve that moment
in time...
thank you Michelle
for your inspiration
and kind support...
xox - eb.

hey eb, thanks for sharing this great post with the team. so much to see here! we have come to recognize that eb way of writing on a page :) i love how you say you can retrieve moments in time from what you've compiled on a page. so true. just a little daily evidence of the present goes a long way in becoming a touchstone to all things past. i also enjoyed what you said - that when your writing journals married your visual journals life became more interesting. i'll toast to that! thanks for the enthusiasm for this crusade ;)

Cool, eb! You certainly have a way with colour and collage. The Palm Reader would make a great card or as illustration on packaging. And I like the colours and the photograph of the thai prince? Balinese child? page.
