hi everyone its Keren here with a new art journaling page. it's an intuitive
art journaling page that brought me lots of healing so just sit down relax
and enjoy I have a journaling page that is a little bit
different than my usual I mean the techniques are the same but the feeling
that is being shared here is a little bit different it was healing not only
for myself but basically I'm hoping that it will bring you some healing and love
and everything that comes with it because I really feel that from the
response I've got for my other emotional journals I really feel that a lot of
people that are suffering and just want to bring in some light through this
suffering as much as I can something you don't know about me is that I actually
studied to be a healer, a homeopathic doctor actually and I basically never
practiced because just life got in the way or if you want to say, things
happened but I am so glad that I actually found another type of healing through
art and this has brought me so much joy and this is basically what I want to convey
when I was making this page I felt so much happiness and joy something that a
lot of people want to feel and I just want to try to kind of bring that
feeling for everyone so you can feel that as well so just sit down enjoy
I did prep my page with white gesso as you saw it before and now I'm using
some Nuvo mousse this is a Tonic studio hexagon shaped stencil and I'm
basically just adding some Nuvo Mousse and then with a baby wipe just running
it through the Nuvo Mousse and I took a couple colors I will list them below I
can't remember the names of the colors but I will list them
all below so you know which colors I used and I'm just basically rubbing them
it's not a very complicated technique it's not something
that I put a lot of thought into I really felt that it was kind of like an
intuitive healing the same way that I'd done before intuitive art but with this
time much lighter and not as heavy and sad as it was before and then
basically I just wanted to touch into something that one of my viewers talked
about and basically when I put my other art journal out there she was talking
about ugliness and suffering and this is something many of us experience
I experienced illness at a very young age and I suffered a lot through the years
and I can relate to what she was asking and I know many people suffer as well as
they commented on those videos. she asked a very very valid question
how do you move on from the ugliness?she was referring to two things one of them was
referring to the ugliness of how you feel the frustration and the sadness or
the suffering and she was also talking specifically about how do you when you
make something ugly or you're making something that you think it's ugly and
you're your own worst critic how do you move on how do you make it beautiful how
do you move on from that and that's something that I really wanted to
address in this particular art journal because this art journal really felt
like it was bringing me light and something that we need to bring into our
work is light and I don't mean only light as the color or like you know
light of the shade of what we feel but lightness of of that heaviness that we
feel all the time but it's really hard to do that and for me I have to balance
between the two and kind of find a medium that will bring both and I don't
mean medium as medium of art but balance between what is heavy and what is not
and it's really hard when you're suffering to actually come out and bring
that lightness into something so heavy so I'm really hoping that with this you
can feel a little bit lightness and just sit there and enjoy just the process
because the art journaling process itself is supposed to bring you that
lightness and even if you don't like something as I said in the other video
that I will link below as well. you can burn it you can tear it. you can do
anything you want with it you don't have to actually just keep it and as you
saw with my other journal I took it and I actually removed it because I did
not want it to be. But this one that brings me so much light and so much
happiness even though it's just a simple art journal I'm really focusing
on just simple things using a stencil and rubbing it and just having fun so
number one is having fun with it experimenting just go for it, just play
it doesn't really matter if you make mistakes I've I've made a video about
making mistakes it doesn't really really matter if you make mistakes or not
that's just part of the fun and that will bring light to something that is
heavy that will bring light to something that is suffering and yeah the
suffering might not go away but think about it as winter. I did this layout and
then I just had some snowflakes lying around and it made me think of winter
and winter is something that most of us really just dislike some people really
love it and love doing winter sports but I'm just not a fan of winter but there
is beauty in everything there's beauty in the winter the same way there is
beauty in all the suffering I mean of course I wouldn't say that suffering is
beauty but there is something about suffering that either brings people
together, brings families together brings love to other people
this is what it is if you want to know what is the opposite of
suffering is love and love brings this. what I'm gonna doing here by putting
these snowflakes it's bringing some light and bringing some love to all of
you that want to feel that and this might not make sense but there is
something in therapy in art therapy that most people don't realize and I'm not an
art therapist at all but I've seen how art has helped me in therapy how it
helps me to heal many things that I wasn't able to heal and the snowflakes
if you look at the beautiful snowflakes how beautiful they are in the
winter that is some beauty that you cannot take away from the winter yes you
hate the coldness yes you hate everything you're freezing but
isn't it nice to just sit there in a warm home seeing a beautiful scenery of
snow falling those beautiful snowflakes and you're sitting there warm and cozy
with a fireplace I mean that's just feeling, just think of something
beautiful and do what matters most and basically that was my message for this,
do what matters most because the most that matters is for me I cannot speak
for other people but for me it's having a family having my health and having
love surrounding me and when you find those things you're really find healing
so then yes you can move on you can move on from the ugliness so I'm not saying
that you will not have suffering every day or every other day or every week but
you will find some happiness you will find love surrounding you and you will
really see that, that's all that really matters
I was so overly emotional talking about this that I forgot that I used soft
matte gel from Prima to actually glue the snowflakes and basically I just
glued them like decoupage nothing special then I took some white gesso and
just created a few splatters in the background this sentiment that I used I
printed it out of my printer and use gel to basically glue it so I mean just to
recap what I did but it really loved how the Nuvo mousse brought lightness into
this and it just made everything look really really special so I just want to
end that by saying that I really got inspired by this intuitive art healing
that I really feel I should be doing more often and I will do more of these
journals just because I really feel that everybody should go through this process
and really bring some light and healing into their lives and if this video
