Art Journaling: It’s My Body

In January, I signed up for One Little Word, and discovered digital scrapbooking. It's snowballed from there, and now I'm doing digital art journaling. For some reason I am finding it easier to "talk" about being ill in images than in words, and several of the pages I've done are about this.

So I may begin posting here again.

It's hard to post about the research roller-coaster. They think they've found the cause! No they haven't. Yes they have.

And so on.

But I can make pages about my day-to-day.

Here is my latest, It's my body…:

This was a particulary bad day. I do try not to whine.

    I’m sorry it it was a bad day. You certainly found a way to express your pain beautifully, though.

    🙂 That’s great. I try not to whine too but sometimes it’s the only appropriate response! I’ve had to distance myself from research news. I figure if/when they find a cure I’ll hear about it, but I don’t need to participate in all the to-ing and fro-ing in the mean time.
    I’ve never heard of digital art journaling. That’s really interesting. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing!
