What Do YOU See? | Wreck This Journal

I'm here today with my last post of the week.  I cannot promise such regular posting going forward but hope to achive far more regular crafting to share with you.
                           
Again I worked im my Wreck This Journal to create this page.  After following the prompt, to "Close the Book to Make a Print", I looked at the patterns created.  I could see various things in the splotches on the page.  I contemplated turning the page into a more structured piece, outlining and adding to the shapes, but purposely decided to leave it as is, for the viewers imagination to decide what is in front of them.

I'll write what I saw at the end of this post, but what do YOU see?  Please leave a comment, either here on my blog or on Facebook to let me know. I'm fascinated!

Pride | Wreck This Journal

I was going to apologise once again for the long absences this past year, but I'm not sorry.  I needed the break.
                            
Now is the right time to pick up my art journals. Now is the right time to make a card or two. Now is the time where my break has done me good and I've started to feel that yearning to craft once again.
                                   
Pride LGBT Art Journal Page | LGBT+ | LGBTQ | Wreck This Journal
Art joournal page, simply done with paint markers
                           
So here I am, sharing my first journal page in a year.  A simple doodled one today, celebrating Pride month.  
             
This page was done in my Wreck This Journal, using the prompt "Write One Word Over and Over".
