Wanderlust Journey~Direction

Good Morning and welcome!

Something new for me in 2016 is my year long classes at Wanderlust by Everything Art
From time to time I will be showing a finished piece,however,no how to's as this will be up to the individual teachers over at Wanderlust.
 Have a look here at the teacher lineup.
~there is still plenty of time to join in and be inspired the whole year through!
 Kasia,asked us to use the word we were feeling in that moment for our journal spread.
Well at that moment,as you can see on the left, I was feeling Scattered!
  (not really a great starting out word!)
 By the end of my spread I had found my Direction~and my chosen word for 2016!
Interesting palette~do you think as well?
Here's to finding Direction in 2016!

Lovely....I always like colourful and bright pages painted by other. My own pages always end up with a little green patina here and there. Must be an obsession :o)

Jackie,
Well what can I say!!!! The colours, the incredible texture and your word choice, all combine to form exquisite art.
I am a wee bit annoyed with myself I've not even decided on my word and haven't watched the videos. Don't know what happened to all my good intentions of keeping up-dated with all what is going on at Wanderlust!
Have a great weekend.
Wishes
Lynne

Wow Jackie, how blown away am I right now!! What a glorious page filled with so many wonderful colours and textures! The gold on the compass is just brilliant, what an eye-catcher of a page! I really want to reach out and touch this one! LOVE IT!! You are rocking Wanderlust! hugs :)

Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith said...

Stunning spread with the golden and purple shimmer, Jackie! I can so identify with feeling scattered. Love how you turned it around to find your direction. That's one of my words too. It's so easy to lose purpose and just wander around aimlessly, whether it is in your life in general or with regard to specific tasks. Hope you find your direction! xx

Pamellia said...

Hey Jackie. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog today, you made me smile!! Regarding the Pinterest button, it's code that I write into every post I publish. It's pretty easy to use, I can set you up with a copy/paste version and instructions if you're interested. Give me a shout via email if you want, my contact button is in my sidebar. hugs :)

Wow, Jackie! this is my favorite so far! How in the world is that possible? I can tell your heart was into this, and I'm happy your scattered feeling has changed into a sense of direction. Your colors on this make me so happy, and that texture is glorious-ness!!! Wish I was that fly on your wall! Big hugs, my talented friend!
