Documented Life Project - Words With Friends...

Hi friends!  Just a quick share for you today.  I'm way behind on the Documented Life Project; but I finished a page for the January 24th prompt.  Here's what the challenge was...

January Theme
The Blank Page and How to Face It!
January 24
Art Challenge:  Writing
Journal Prompt:  Words with Friends



Here's how mine turned out...
I started out by filling both pages with writing about what I feel is necessary in a friendship, what has and hasn't worked in the past, etc.  I didn't think I'd have much to say, but the words flowed freely once I got started.  :)

After that I just started playing with colors and shapes until an idea presented itself.  I've been doing that more and more lately, and finding that it's a good way to stave off fear of the blank page.  Anyhoo, after I figured out I wanted a big heart, I drew it with a stabilo all pencil, and then covered everything else with a light coat of gesso.  The wings were painted on top, and the pink shading is done with my ever-loving Tombow Markers.  Those things are soooooo useful.

The last thing was adding the quote with a permapaque marker.

So much fun!!!

Are you doing the documented life project this year?  It's still free!  If you want to find out more about it, click here.
