Bucuria de a crea liber intr-un jurnal

Imi aduc aminte de acea bucurie de a crea liber intr-un jurnal sau caiet pe care o simteam atunci cand eram copii, fara sa gandesti de 100 de ori procesul, iar acea bucurie ar trebui sa ne-o luam inapoi prin desenul si pictura intr-un art jurnal. Caci un adult nu ar trebui sa aiba doar responsabilitati si griji, ci si bucuria de a se juca, de a crea liber fara frica de a fi judecat, criticat sau ridiculizat. Acea bucurie o regasesc de fiecare data cand creez ceva fara sa ma stresez e rezultat, fara sa am asteptari si fara prea mari framantari. Sigur, mi se pare destul de greu uneori sa las copilul din mine sa creeze pentru ca adultul e mereu prezent. DAR cu putina practica, acea curgere prin art journaling se produce cu fiecare pagina creata. Devine mai fluid, mai usor si mai natural. Cu fiecare pagina creata, in fiecare zi.

I remember the joy of creating freely in a journal or notebook that we felt when we were children, without thinking 100 times about the process, and we should take that joy back by drawing and painting in an art journal. Because an adult should not only have responsibilities and worries, but also the joy of playing, of creating freely without fear of being judged, criticized or ridiculed. I find that joy again every time I create something without stressing about the result, without having expectations and too much turmoil. But yes, I find it quite difficult sometimes to let the inner child to create because the adult is always present. BUT with a little practice, that flow through art journaling occurs with each page created. It becomes more fluid, easier and more natural. With each page created, every day.

Magia nu sta neaparat in cat de frumos creezi, ci in faptul de a crea ceva unic pe care doar tu il poti crea in felul tau propriu. Despre asta e art journaling: fara reguli, fara limite, doar joaca!

The magic is not necessarily expressed by how beautifully you create, but in the fact that you create something unique that only you can create with your own mark on it. This is art journaling all about: no rules, no limits, just play!
