A Year of Discovering Week 6: No Yellow + The Night Sky

“A Year of Discovering” is my 52 week journaling project. 1 prompt every week for a whole year. I intend to be real and truthful in my pages. I hope to learn more about myself, my art and the world around me as this project unfolds.
See the archives for all my prompts and journal pages for a whole year.

The prompt for week is “No Yellow + The Night Sky”.
This weeks prompt had two parts to it.
My boyfriend challenged me to use no yellow in my page. Take a look at the past weeks, every page has yellow in it! I can’t seem to get away from the color!
And I decided I needed a bit more than that so he said the night sky.

So here it is:

PS- I’ll be honest, I really don’t like this page. I feel very stuck. My pages…well, the words keep being about the same thing, over and over again. I tried to do something different. With the prompt and visually/technique wise. And it just didn’t work. I almost didn’t even post my page, but in the end…I decided to. It’s good to show pages that suck, or that we dislike because it’s okay, in the end if I don’t like it. There’s still 46 weeks for me to grow, change and like every page I create.

Here’s to hoping next week is better
