Your Hand on my Shoulder

Art Journal 10.10.10 - Your Hand on my Shoulder
Here is my first Art Journal page, you saw the background I had done last week.  Well, one of the things I learned from Dyan Reaveley's demo was that you could do your very personal journalling and then cover it up!  I had a difficult week at work last week and I was able to journal what I felt. The hand on my shoulder is my Dad's, he faced a lot of challenges in his work and I visualised his hand on my shoulder, a supportive gesture to get me through.  Hey, quite deep for a first page, don't you think?  Not promising that it's going to be like that every week, but I have prepared my background for next week, so watch out!

Cut out Letters and girl's head are by Maya de Groot. Arrows are Joyful Heart Designs - Alter Me,  Torso with hand on shoulder sourced on Google images.

    I can't believe this is your first page! What a brilliant idea to write your feelings down & cover them up after...kind of like puting them to bed. Wonderful work my lovely XXX

    ooo Janice this is superb. Wow just a quick demo at Ally Pally has led you to create this - just think what an actual workshop with Dyan could get you to produce?

    Delicious.

    :)

    This is great Janice, and the message behind it is very special. I too think of my dad by my side when faced with difficult stuff
