I have wanted to have a journal for a while and just now have started it. The picture is of the moon and the stars. This is a memory that I recorded of when I was in Arizona in 2007. The inset says- "Moon & Stars. The Heavens Declare The Glory of God Psalm 19:1. The above quote came to me in 2007 after seeing the extreme number of stars in the Arizona night sky (which are not visible at home). I never knew there were so many. I was actually in shock for the first few minutes." This was done in acrylic paint on the paper in a composition notebook. Was fun to do.
Hi. I'm from A.R.T., EDM and Blissfully Art Journaling. I like your page a lot. I felt the same way when I saw the Arizona sky (which is where I live now). It wasn't like this even in Wyoming which is at a higher altitude and has less lights to interfere with the night sky. I swear there is an ozone hole over Arizona and that's why the sun is so bad here and the stars shine so nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou DID pick something old to sketch!! Nicely done. Hope you will have a long dance with your journaling! There is nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, stellar image!
ReplyDeleteActually, there were far more stars to be seen in the sky where I used to live in the Colorado mountains than there are here in Phoenix where I now live.
ReplyDeleteBut for a first page, this is wonderful!
Ramona, your page is fantastic! I love that you have captured a moment and a feeling with images and words. Beautiful!! Leanne.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Leanne - fabulous. In Spain I see alot more stars than here in Dubai (UAE0 but I think not as many as you've seen in Arizona!

What a lovely page to record your memory. We see very few stars here - as in so many places, there is too much light pollution. There is not much that is more moving than to see the sky full of stars - puts things in perspective!
ReplyDeleteCan I go "twinkle twinkle little stars...." ^^ Beautiful memory record!
ReplyDeleteDelightful...I can't believe that's a composition notebook! That is certainly cheap enough that even I could loosen up!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Welcome to the world of journaling... it brings so much pleasure and joy. Now, keep at it and you will have a wonderful personal record.

I remember laying on a roof at a camp outside of Wimberly Texas and staring up at thousands and thousands of stars..magical beginning to your journal. The magic will continue, I am sure!
