Wreck This Journal

I haven't shown off my journal in a long time! I just wanted to show some of the progress being made with my journal.Wreck This Journal has been very therapeutic. I'm not much of an artist, but I try to just express myself by wrecking. I'm a total control freak and perfectionist so doing this journal has been quite liberating.

The journal told me to doodle on the cover page. I thought it would look better if I glued cut outs from magazines. Call me lazy but I think it all worked out. I love what some of the cut outs say.

I collected these leaves on the same day I conquered my fear of snakes. We were in a city named "Tagaytay" and it's pretty much in the mountains. After we went to the zoo to get #29 on my list accomplished, we went to Starbucks to work on our art journals. I felt like doing this page so I went outside and picked up a few things from the ground.

This is probably one of my favorite pages from the journal. It felt so good defacing this photo of me. And the photo kind of suited the emotion I was feeling while defacing the photo. I had the idea of tearing the photo into pieces then gluing it back together. My face needed some color so I colored over it using different colors for each piece. I really love how it came out. It's a little inappropriate, but I don't really care.

I probably won't get to do my journal as much since I'll be busy in the next few weeks. I guess I can take a break from it since I'm looking for more inspiration for some of the pages.
