I have been enjoying creating in journals this year so much. The photo of this spread was taken before I had fully finished the piece. Inspired by Effy Wild’s May lesson for Book of Days 2021.
Rain is such a blessing. After living in drought ridden California and Colorado, it was surprising to find Oregon also experiencing drought. So every time it rains I say a prayer of gratitude for this life-giving resource.
“There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed.” Washington Irving
The art is one of my collage paintings that I added some filters to for this piece. I also added a few Design Cuts watercolor flowers. Counting the Daily Graces pieces I have made from before the fire to after, I have made over 750 of these. Today I celebrate #400 of the after-fire pieces.
