There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

** Inhabit Your Story **

Thought... 
if you were to inhabit your life story using art, 
how would you "visually" show others?

Happy Saturday!

  1. April, this book of days is fantastic! Love the Maya Angelou quote, and especially love your question in the end... I'm not sure how i'd visually share my story, but your question makes me wanna go to the studio & sketch a few ideas... really got me thinking. :-) ((hugs)) xoxo

  2. Wow April... what a wonderfully interesting thought! I'd have to use recent years of my life and use bright colors... I've come through some very dark days and will never return... that's why I use the colors that I do. Thanks for this thought! Have a fabulous evening!
    Renee!

  6. Hi April...you are doing fantastic work in your BOD. I checked out your other pages too...they are all great! You should consider doing a tutorial on how you decorated the mint tins. I have several now that I want to use for storing my small hand carved stamps.

    Are you going to bind your BOD pages together at some point...or tip them into a book?

    1. Yes, Mary... I will be binding these pages for my BOD.
      My goal is to have a really "chunky" thick art journal.
      I never know how it will end up in the end, that is the exciting part!!
      Great idea, a tutorial on creating the business tin... I will work on that. :]
      Thank you for visiting. ((hugs))
