Journal 52 : Week 31

Journal 52 is a weekly prompt from Effy Wild (Free HERE) that I'm creating on a deck of jumbo playing cards 3.5'' x 4.75'' (8.5 x 12 cm). Each card will include stitch, a found word, and be inspired by the project I've been working on that week or what's lying leftover on my work table. See the original post HERE.
#31 : Being. I began with scrapbook bee paper for fun and no real idea of what to do next. 

Still feeling tired after my treatment, surgery and the stress of the year, so trying to Be Kind to myself, Be Present to what is good in the moment, Be Open to doing what feels good instead of beating myself up about "should". In the spirit of all that, I let myself Be Delighted by colours and fabric and stitch that felt good to use today. As Effy said in her PDF for this prompt Being "means whatever I’m doing, I’m doing it with presence. I’m doing it mindfully. I’m fully engaged". 

I bought some new supplies yesterday with a voucher I got for my birthday from Warehouse Stationery. 

I have never purchased a proper bound watercolour journal so hoping this will inspire some new work soon. Joanne Sharpe recommended Uniball Vision pens in a recent class. These aren't Vision but they are permanent, waterproof, fade resistant pigment ink. I will report back when I've tested them. Have a lovely week. Find all my Journal 52 posts HERE
