Journaling my (He)art Out

Here is my latest project completed in "21 Secrets"  called "Journaling your (He)art Out" with Nolwenn Petitbois. This is a fantastic project to work through negative feeling towards yourself or your art and then shift the focus onto the positive aspects in your life.  Under the image of my hand I had handwritten my negative thoughts and filled that side of the page.  Then I covered up the words with a nice coat of Gesso and then to that I added my layers of paint and collage.  On a separate piece of paper I wrote down twenty lovely positive thoughts about myself and my life.  With scissors in hand, I cut them up and pasted them down within my heart shape.  It was great to see my heart filling up with love from myself and literally overflowing since not all my positive words fit!  A fantastic therapeutic project that would work wonderfully when working with clients within an Art Therapy setting.  I'll be adding it to my tool box!
