Since I haven't had time to charge my batteries (or the ones in my camera, for that matter),
I decided to scan my background. Many of you who have been here this past week will recognize I used the same tissue paper I used on one of my APCs. However, I suspect if I hadn't shown this scan, and the fact that I had to patch it in a couple of places to make it fit, you would not know it was there. I simply didn't want to leave the used file folder "naked."
No disrespect to songwriter Lindsey Buckingham, or Fleetwood Mac who sang "Go Your Own Way," but when I saw the prompt Pathways, that was what immediately came to mind. 
And once I got it in my head, it was there to stay. 
Of course, I wanted my "song" to hold a more positive message than the one Buckingham wrote.
Mixed in among the magazine images I chose, 
were the "lyrics" I wrote
that show the pathway I have chosen as we begin this 2015 voyage.And in case you can't read it, Go my own way!
I will go my own way
Call it another art filled day
I will go my own way
Down this artistic pathway.
Thank you for visiting and seeing my take on this first week of Journal 52 in 2015. I appreciate your comments, because they mean so much to me, especially as I am trying to get over whatever this is I came down with over a week ago.
Great background Elizabeth, so many lovely images to accompany your words. They are very appropriate as you do go your own way and produce some beautiful ArT.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel much better very soon:-) xxx
I dig that background ~ the patchwork design *and* palette ~ just lovely! Great journal entry, too ~ enJOY the journey!
