September Art Journal Pages





How do you illustrate 
a
Hurricane?

I had about a million ideas
swirling around in my mind...







and when that happens..

when my monkey mind starts up
I know it is usually time to just start 







with a meditative process that 
shuts down the chatter..







and listens...
to the deep stillness
that knows...







If you watched my last YT video,
then you know that I collaged and decollaged both pages
with a newsprint magazine,




to watch the video, 
just scroll down to the last post





I ripped up the pages and glued and tore
them back and you can still see the print below
in the center of the hurricane..

but 
I forgot to mention that I used my torn handmade paper
technique for the body of the hurricane in the center..

the white papers below..
that create the circle...








So...
 what is with all the little butterflies?







Ingredients: Collage and Decollage, acrylic paint, watercolor pencils, handmade papers, paper ephemera, Liquitex paint pens, pencil.






They followed us on our journey..
from our evacuation
and all the way home..

and we felt comforted by so many
tiny messengers of
joy...
