As per usual, the picture of what I wanted to do for this journal in my head was very different from what ended up on paper. In life we all struggle and face challenges. I've had to keep telling myself lately that I am only responsible for my actions, I cant control everyone else's, so that is why I added this quote. I used a mixture of media from inks, crayons, pencils, markers, acrylic paints, beach sand in impasto paste for the bricks and even pressed flowers that I had been given at Christmas last year along with twigs from my garden.
