A challenge...




Have you ever delved into something and then wondered why you ever did it? And how you might possibly put it all back in the box and forget about it? It's like when you buy a new duvet. As soon as you pull it out of the bag you know for sure that it's never going back in there. It just expands as if it has a life of its own.

Sometimes we step out and take a risk... and it runs away with us. You take one little step in faith and the whole thing snowballs. And sometimes it's scary.

Well, I'd like to take one of those little steps and ask if there is anybody out there who would like to join in a circle journal? It's something I've wanted to do for a long time but you know how it is - who will I ask? What if no-one wants to join in? If you're wondering what I mean by circle journal, you might also know it as a round robin. Each person provides a journal and they all travel around the group, each person adding their own page/s until it arrives back at the originator full of wonderful creativity. It will be a long term project because I would want everyone to have plenty of time to complete their pages. Plus there will be postal charges. If none of that has put you off and you're interested, email me at tracywoodsford@gmail.com

Let's see if we can have an adventure...







As I actually painted something, I think I'll link up with Paint Party Friday as well as Art Journal Every Day, Creative Every Day, and Art Journal Journey (see the links in the side-bar).

  1. what a great idea to paint the face over the square...

    I am really sorry of not joining round robins..but the mail charges are to high for me... as home staying mom ... my budget is low.

    But the idea is great!

  2. It's a wonderful idea, and I hope you can get a group together. I cannot join in either, as I struggle to live off my pension. Sorry! Valerie

  5. What a beautiful AJ page Tracy, fab techniques and colours and your face is superb. Lol good on you ref the 'circle journal' suggestion, I am doing one at the moment with a group of friends and it really is an amazing experience. Hmm I would possibly be interested sweetie but it would depend on the timing tbh, the one I am currently doing won't finish for another couple of months!!

  13. Yes, some things can never go back in the box. I wondered about that many times. Love your journal page. Beautiful face. I have never done a round robin before, but would love to join in, so I'll sent you an email =)

  15. Your journal page is very dramatic and definitely tells a story...things certainly do not always fit back in boxes (or suitcases or drawers... ;) )
