It Occurs to me...

that though I am intensely involved in the Dylan project I am doing some digital collage for my art journaling plans and I could post them here- (as well as on the Dylan Blog) It would certainly fill up space and look like I'm really blogging! LOL

So here are a couple- yes, variations on a theme.
When I work digitally I often do multiple colors and themes- Its just impossible to resist doing so.
I just get lost in the colors.

And a couple of ATC's awaiting quotes.

As I said, variations on a theme.

Just the color variations here but I'm working on some others using the same profile as it is so iconic.

this is not working out

This blog is not working out.
I'm just not inspired to do it-
There are forces working on/in me.
I've been spending time nesting and working hard- internally- on a project- how to go about it, what its purpose is, shaping it in my mind and trying to understand where it is (I am) going with it.
It will involve art-journaling, creative writing of a personal nature, book-art and a blog.

It will also involve Bob Dylan in as much as his art and being (or my projection of his being) is the catalyst.
It might also involve an M.A. I'm making the beginning contact with a University.

I'm excited as well as filled with trepidation.

beginning again- and again- and again

The "just do it" bug has finally kicked me in the butt!

I have been wanting to start a new blog focusing on art collage/visual journaling and my etsy collage stuff shop for soooo long- but as I haven't been making any art- doing any collage or journaling ever since I began that shop I felt dopey beginning a blog about it!

Of course I feel dopey writing to no-one here too.

Last summer I did some Art Journaling following the fabulous Kelly Kilmer Journaling prompts class. I joined for 3 or 4 months- forget which- I didn't do every day but I did more than I had done in a couple of years- but then I decided I needed to get this ETSY shop going that had been perking in my head for over a year.

All my efforts have been going to that- and to tell you the truth- I'm kind of not into it right now- even though I have gazillions of images ready to make sheets out of.

OH- the shop is a digital collage sheet/imagery shop.

Anyway- I have been wanting to do the Sarah Whitmire Soul Collage prompts for at least 6 months- I pull them up on my browser and the page stays there until I shut down the computer - (every couple of weeks)

I joined her .ning group but haven't done anything yet-

I even joined the Soul Journaling Yahoo Group- but still- no participation or art.

Partly I tell myself I won't be able to afford it after I do the three weeks of free prompts-

But seriously- to quote Seth Myers- "Really...?"

So tonight I am beginning- I am in the process of preparing a new art journal and following the first prompt.

Lets see what happens.

I guess the first thing to do is go to the groups and say "hey" and intro myself.
