Soulistry - on Aiming High...

Last week's Soulistry prompt over at Book of Days, was all about aiming high with your goals.

I started out with a random background - splats of acrylic on black gesso. This was inspired by a cosmic sky that our leader Effy created...

 but when I got this far, I saw an undeniable girl's head with wild pink and orange pigtails.  Do you see it? It's right in the middle. There are drips coming down that form the sides of her head,  and she has round pink earrings. I decided I had to draw her out to play...

 So this is how my page turned out...

I sketched her basic shape with a white chalk pencil. Then used gesso, acrylic paint and neocolor II crayons for shading and details.  This was so much fun!  She's a little crazy looking, but wouldn't she be fun to hang out with?  I think so!  I added a quote that I love, and my page was done.

I am having so much fun in my Book of Days it's just crazy! 

P.S. There is still time to join in on the Mixed Emotions Art Journaling class that I'm teaching with Marit Barentsen!  Lesson one just went up today.  We are having fun talking about Courage and chatting away!
