Soul Journaling

I'd been following the prompts at Sarah Whitmere's website for about a week or so before I bought a hard-backed sketchbook... and it was another couple of days before I braved altering it.

Once I started, I quickly got caught up in the process!

This is the cover. Gone is the uniform black. The ephemria is from a copy of Mansfield Park by Jane Austin which I bought some time ago for the sum of £1. That was covered in blue, purple and black paint, then scattered with glitter.

I covered the whole thing in PVA glue, which sealed the glitter and varnished the cover.

The quotes... on the front it says "If you aim for the moon and miss... you still land amongst the stars" and I don't know who to attribute that to. The back one reads "There are no conventions other than the ones you want to break" and is part of a quote by Lani Tupu.

And here are the first pages.

I skipped a step here, because I caught myself procrastinating. There is no need to follow the steps absolutely - it does not need to be "perfect".

I was iffy about writing about what I felt, but again, once I'd started I found the whole thing very feeling.

The next stage involves covering up my words - which I mentally rebel at. So it'll be interesting to see if I can go through with that part or not.
