Journals from a friend storyteller

Did you still write a journal/diary? How many people are afraid to tell they write them since ever or since something happened to make them change. I'm sure that a journal isn't just a box of tears and lamentations, I see it has a report of lives, stories, experiences through out the ages of life. Somehow journals hide an identity, a specimen of art, because there we are free to create as we wish for, we believe that no one will ever see it, mind and soul commands and hands traces flow freely on the paper.

"Diaries are highly varied, from business notations, to listings of weather and daily personal events, to inner explorations of the human psyche, to expressions of one's deepest self to records of thoughts and ideas."

My dearest friend (you know I love you) gave me some of her journals pages to publish as one of the Amateur or Artist -and I hope to do it with some different ones someday-, but I thought that her generosity would worth better to a post dedicated to places where you hide our inner power, like in a safe house.

What do you plan to do with your journals one day? Everyone has a secret about them...

Sending letter in Christmas time

I made some stationery by myself today, it can be a useful and cheap suggestion to you, so you can send more personal letter to your friends, with some touch of this period, almost Christmas.I'm not a big fan of the religious part, but I see Christmas a time to share and to help who is in need. So, I thought that could be nice to take some pictures of my stationery, handmade, as also some envelopes I made.

Materials to handmade stationary:

Cheap paper (you can print lines in white paper too)
watercolors and/or
colored pens
brushes
originality

Kreativ Blogger Award

PhotobucketThe hyper creative Bianca J (Goodnight Little Spoon) tagged me on this sort of quiz without questions *ah ah* I'm not so fan of this, but as thanks I decided to accomplish my part. So I squeezed my brain and here goes 7 random facts about myself:

Photobucket When I was only eleven years old and being bored of lunch time in school I decided in five minutes to create a school club to do something, the first thing I had remembered was games. So I went to the feared director's room with two mates and exposed my plan, with my eleven years old discourse I won a room twice a week (closed door) to instruct younger students in something I never understand what it was. Party!!! Oh! and I had priority in the lunch line.

Photobucket I think I am an asleep genius, not the asleep beauty.

Photobucket I have irrational fear two giant water places and with water and electricity, I am claustrophobic in situations caused by the others (I never will forget the summer day when I was in the full train with a old lady some palms away from me, with her lips all red and also her teeth... smiling like in hell!)

Photobucket I only face people in their eyes for a long time when they are boring me with stupid conversations, and I tend to do silly expressions with my face while I stare them in the eyes, lip biting my lip constantly, wrinkle forehead,...

Photobucket Wished that I could write only five facts.

Photobucket I lost an opportunity to be a tattoo apprentice when I moved to another city.

Photobucket I hate to be copied. I feel happy with creativity, originality, self ideas, enthusiasm, self-esteem, free expression, respect, kindness, and intelligence.




EIGHT - Really need to say this! I love pen palling and my pen friends! <3

I will not tag anyone, but if you you want to feel tagged please go ahead and do this ^^ Thank you very much Bianca, you are gorgeous!

Sixties Invasion

I was in boring moment when I decided to crochet a bit, and I thought that circles could be nice to free my emotionally mortal boredom. I realize they could be used like hair accessories or like pins in our clothes. (I'm currently wearing one in my head, a brown/yellow one, very hippie I think). They also can be very diverse, the color, the size, the shape and the way to make them, and to finish they look very natural accessories and very sweet.

I bet that she would love my crochet circles! ah ah


I also took a black and white photo where I look to be 16 years old, and some more to exemplify what I did this afternoon, I really have to kill boredom, what's better than to make something with creativity and our hands?

I just say that I am still looking for the the next Amateur or Artist to publish some art work. If you have a suggestion, please tell me, I'll be more than glad to publish it here. It is open to paintings, pencil drawings, pen drawings, collages, scrapbook pages, doodle stuff (artistically), any work made buy your hands and imagination. Be a proud artist, creativity flows the more you try it, so make art!

I also finished one more notebook, all full of colors! I love it, inside the cover is light green and pages are blank, and it is A5 size so so.

I hope you like all of this, may this be a touch of color to your day, oh and I'm also testing some new backgrounds, I'm in love with this green one with flowers.
Love,
J.
