Yes, I know it's not July. But that is my focus right now. The DLP Journal theme for July is Ephemera. I made my July calendar by stamping numbers on various pieces of paper (i.e., ephemera)
There are borders around the pages with washi tape and torn pieces of painted deli paper from other projects. I also added some tags that came on birthday gifts from times past (history), and in keeping with what I use on hand, added words to one of the tags. That was from some art I printed on label sheets, and it's funny that the words were appropriate for how I feel I am standing still right now, even though the original art had more words with a different meaning. And equally odd is how, if I had done this page back in July instead of now, I would have been in a different place entirely.
For the journal prompt, Life...with a history, I used a Prismacolor gray pencil to write rambling thoughts at the bottom of the page. When I write like that, I don't make it legible. In fact, by next week, I'll forget what I wrote and certainly won't be able to read it! But history is a fleeting thing, as we all know!
You can see the writing better in person than in the picture, but still I felt it needed more, so I stenciled a typewriter over it. Seems like most of my jobs over the past decades involve typing, so it is appropriate, as a part of my history.
I may do some doodling and outlining, but overall, I'm happy with the page. Love the color (Dylusions paints). Onward! There is history to be made!
