Mixed Media & Art Journaling with Love
First Mixed Media blog in Romania
Most often than not, our busy lives prevent us from looking around at the little things that bring us joy. Being in a continuous state of disatisfaction and disappointment is what keeps us blindfolded from not seeing what’s right in front of our eyes: life ain’t that bad. Things are not that dramatic as they seem at first. People around us have more soul that we want or expect once we get to know them deeply. But sometimes the more we try to get to …
Today I stumbled upon a card illustrating blooming poppies. I said to myself that those would make a fine collage in my journal. I cut a few blooming poppies and a few poppy bods to match them together, and glue them down on the page, leaving some space for lettering.

Aceste flori sunt albe in mod normal, dar devin transparente o data ce picaturile de ploaie le ating petalele. Uimitor, nu-i asa? Asa ca m-am gandit ca …
For today I went back into childhood when all seemed so easy and perfect and I created this simple page with abstract round flowers. I drew then directly with a black roll pen and then I started to add color using Faber Castell gelatos.
