This is a journal page I did in response to Crusade #5 on Michelle Ward's Street Team. The mission was to document evidence from your everyday life. My life is quite boring LOL -- So I am documenting some of the trends with my art currently. I am discovering that some of the techniques and images I'm using are really symbols and with that knowledge my art feels more expressive and soulful to me now.
I'm not sure if my writing is readable, so here is a list of what I came up with ...
Sheer Overlays -- symbolic for veiling my emotions
Speckling & Spattering -- another form of veiling of my emotions
Wire-Wrapping -- Symbolic for the knots I feel all tied up in
Trumpet -- This is a symbol for my voice ... the only voice I had at one time
Hearts --- This symbol is the one I found most shocking, as I never perceived myself to be a heart person. It represents life force and the spirit.

This looks great, thanks for outlining all the techniques and symbols that are important to you.
I have been wanting to do this challenge too. I read it and thought, "How cool is this?!?" I am definitely loving the work you've been showing lately, Karen. My only complaint? I want to see MORE! ;-))
That's ptetty neat to figure out you symbolism. I don't think I have any, but admire all ot you who do. You sure have been doing a lot of great journal and book pages.

your journal is so nice! I think we can enterpret many of our pages as portraits of our selves, don't you think so? Because every time I put down an image it has a respons in my life, even though I first didn't ssee it! :-)
I love coming over to your blog to see what new things you have come up with!
