This week’s LisTEN was your overused words. I don’t usually do the lists for my UnPlanner but this appealed. While I was at it, I did a quick Dare2B page, where the challenge was to use tissue paper. I did, but it didn’t turn out even slightly like I had imagined, Oh well…
My tag and page this week followed the ‘doodle a flower or ten’ prompt although I stencilled flowers on the tag, and used ones Roo sent me on the page. I’m not big on following the prompts and don’t do a lot of the other things, like create lists, but I love the inspiration this goup gives me.
This month we are “unravelling the past and embracing new beginnings”. I can’t think of a better theme as I work through the mental preparation videos ahead of my weight loss surgery. They want me to understand how genetics, metabolism, culture and environment, sleep, personal behaviour and psychological aspects have all contributed to me being at a point where surgery makes sense. The prep is thorough and quite challenging so it’s cool that my art ties into it, as that makes it less stressful for me.
This is a ‘pay to do’ class so I won’t share the details as such, but here’s the start of my May pages. The album is so full already it’s getting hard to scan the pages right to the edge near the spiral binding!
I’m enjoying the challenges, but doing it my way, so still doing some March pages as well as setting up April.
