journal spread

:: words ::
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed.
But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So better to speak.

- speaking my words -
The randomness of this journal spread is what I enjoy most.
Collectively adding layers of scrap papers, washi tape, and acrylic paint. 
Furthermore ... adding my small painting of this bird, 
which I originally sketch onto a page out of a vintage book, brings be pure delight!
enjoy
