Art Journal: A Year in the Life

I've not been keeping up extraordinarily well with the prompts at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal, but I figure that it's still good practice to keep myself journalling more often than I would without a twice-monthly prompt. The first prompt of the new year was to choose a word that would, in effect, be a touchstone for the new year. And, if we could, we should try to work feet into our page. :)

I thought it was too much at first, but I am tickled with how my page came out! My word for the year is "true," which I really loved in terms of trying to keep in mind that I need to be true to myself, but also remain true to my goals and my family. The feet are wearing shoes that I'd never personally purchase or attempt to wear, but there is something distinctly badass about them--so they were pulled from a fashion magazine and added to the page before i started writing.

  3. Hello fellow badass! Love the page and really love how you added the shoes. I always see high heeled gorgeous shoes but and love how the look but would never wear or buy them. I feel too unsteady on my feet and prefer runners! haha
