 Hi guys, how are you? We are here for week two of my creative year for November 2018 and our topic for the month is words and our prompt last week was status and we did this we did this part of our journal page where we talked about status and that it should be your status and life should be determined by what's inside and not what's outside and I did this illustration and wording to go journaling to go along with that this week our prompt is favorite quotes so we're going to add onto our page build onto our page and I will admit this is going to be the first time I've done a journal page that's mostly about words which is I think where this is going to go which is interesting so the first thing I'm going to do actually is I'm going to add a sort of horizon line as if the garbage can is sitting like on a floor and you know make it look like it belongs to the whole page add some shadow okay I'm going to add a little bit of distress crayon and some baby wipe to blend it that's good I like that and then when I was doing the review for this month and showing you my word box I found this random arrow that I don't know why it was in the word box but we're going to use it actually I'm going to glue it onto the page coming out of the garbage can again with the baby wipe so I do tend to just glue right on my table but because I have this cutting mat but then I wipe it off with the baby wipe okay and then I think I want to do like a speech bubble and I'm going to add my favorite quote or saying if you all know me you know you probably know what I'm going to write it has found language so be forewarned so for me this month we're really talking about words and words have power the spoken word the written word um be your behavior um your status in life and you know you really we really all of us we myself included need to just be free to be who we are as long as you're not intentionally trying to hurt somebody else then what does it matter um whether you're goth or your hair is purple or you're bald or you're covered in tattoos or you're a businessman in a suit it doesn't matter just be you be the best version of you that you can be be kind to yourself and to those around you when you're having a bad time or a bad day don't inflict it on the rest of the world because it's not going to help you or them and just be decent your status and life in society should not be about your outward appearance or your bank account or anything else it should be about the content and quality of the person inside your skin that's just the bottom line for me and this I say this a lot oh my god so anyway um I think that I'm gonna I was going to say be done but I think I'm gonna add I'm gonna add something I'm gonna take one of my favorite colors at the moment my favorite current colors and my stencils when I can find them here they are these are my stencils from my design line I think I want to use the one here that's called direction this is the mini direction there is from the one of the four square sets that have four designs on one stencil there is a big version of direction I took the four square stencils and cut them apart oops that's way too much paint that's good I like that just leave the rest of the paint on there so there you go I love that quick simple easy your pages don't have to be complicated they don't have to be any more complicated than that think about using your words this is going to be an extreme use your words in my art journal this month you don't have to do this much you could just do one simple quote but think about using words in your art and think about the meaning of the different prompts this month and how you can use them what they mean to you and express them in your work if you're not part of my creative year and you'd like to be click on my link tree which is in the description below when you do you're going to find me every single place I am on the internet including my Etsy shop my website the my creative year Facebook group my other Facebook groups everything is in there so check me out follow me on Instagram and all of that don't forget to like share and subscribe and hit that little bell icon if you want notifications when my videos come out the most important thing is to go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later bye guys
