Sneak Peek
I don't know why, but some how "completing" a journal is an auspicious occasion. I can't find the word for it- accomplishment, achievement, closure etc etc come to mind, none of which it all apply. I would say it's more akin to satisfaction. I think maybe because I work in so many different books, have so many different projects under way at any one time (currently I work in countless books, both visual and not, have at least 6 canvas underway, a ship in construction, a pottery figure emerging and a myriad of other ideas vying for my attention) that to actually move one to "completion" gives the other projects more space maybe. Or perhaps it is just the potential created by knowing that I now can work on a new journal, new blank pages, new dreams, new adventures, new lessons and new possibilities. The blank page beckons my imagination and the muses begin to dance. So today I am happily collecting bits of paper, fabric, recycling paintings and whatever else I can find that might like to become part of the next journal.
Spoiler alert: in it you will find a spoiler for our next planned journal as sacred vessel ritual :)
Fabulous work Galia... for some reason,I just can't seem to 'Journal'... maybe I should give it a try! :-)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, it leaves me feeling, serene? Hard to find the exact word for the feelings
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art journal. I especially love all the symbols and sacred geometry... but even that makes it hard to say that is my favourite... I love it all. Thank you for the inspiration. A lovely idea. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne, sacred geometry pops up a lot in my work I love it too.

wow this is truly amazing and so so very beautiful. There just are not enough words for what beauty you've captured here.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing personal document! It is truly beautiful and I can understand your thrill at finishing it. I, too, know the joy/thrill/sense of accomplishment that goes with completing a journal, and so in a small way, I can share your feelings. Thanks for sharing. Your journal is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, even as we know that it is all about the process, there is still something in "completion".

ReplyDeleteyour art journal is AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteGalia, your journal is a work of art! And I connected with every word of your blog post! Like you, I have so many diverse projects going at once that every time one is brought to completion, it is cause for celebration and it creates space for the other projects, and new projects as well! Thank you for putting into words what I have felt about my own processes for so long, but failed to articulate!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your journal.
