Healing Journey (to ME).

So I tried to emulate this piece I found on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/284993482666037246/  as I thought it would perfectly resemble a healing journey, but my lettering failed a bit.

It's a quote about the healing journey and I wanted to convey different stages in that, so I added more layers, various sized lettering.

Initial piece b/4 adding more.

I wanted it to look more up & down as that's how my healing journey has been but also at times, clumped together so not too bad. But I do love the idea of my "ME's" at the end, as my Me's have changed over time.

"Healing is a deep journey back to Self."

Control Your own Mind...

Ok, I'm gonna start posting posting my blk journal creations!! Get ready as I'm gonna do this nearly every day for a while.

First up:

One of the first things I did when I decided to go on my little blk journal journey. I wanted to "challenge" myself to use different tools and white inks as I've always struggled with this. (hint: automatic pens work wonderfully!!)

Not liking the bottom part as much but not bad.

Black and White

 

A few years ago I was gifted a nice journal album with black pages. I had no idea what to do with it but this year I started lettering in it as I wanted to start using my white inks. So, here is a sneak peak of some of my creations!

I will post each soon as I finish but this is just a little teaser.

What is YOuR...

For C'mas I was gifted a box of w/c postcards and although I initially intended to do actually watercolor paintings on them (see this one for Lina on my Snail Mail blog:  https://snailmailingmadness.blogspot.com/2026/03/birdies-to-lina.html ) I have been lettering on them instead.

I'm trying to find inspiring quotes and will use these as inserts.

Love this one:  What is your Favorite thing about yourself?
