What's new

WELCOME BACK ART JOURNALERS!

These are TERRIFIC ideas!!
WEEK #3: Your box needs to have things you have always dreamed about having or things you would wish you have done different (maybe symbol to represent this). I want to see you put some time into thinking WHAT YOU think you are missing or don't have or you wish you had or you wish it was different. (I know, I know.... a bit down the spiral this month... but there is a reason, so stay with me). It could be as simple of something you always wanted as a little kid too.... anything goes (as long as it follows the first idea).

My week #3:


WEEK #4: This final week of shadow boxes, I want it to be a closure for all of us. We are all going through some good or bad times right now and I want you to take a snap shot of you right now. I want you to understand that what you added to your boxes during the previous weeks mean something and are related to your state of mind right now. I want you to use something from each of the previous weeks boxes into your box for this week (it does not have to be prominent). I want you to make a snap shot of your life right now and I want you to understand that it will be OK even if it doesn't feel like it. I want you to give yourself permission to feel OK, to believe it will be OK, to understand that LIFE will GET better. If you are having a dandy time, I want you to REJOY ON IT! Capture that JOY in your snapshot! I know I am asking maybe a bit more that you might be willing to share, but please do try even if you don't share it with us. I want you to get that out of your head and start working towards seeing a brighter future.

Week 3 & 4
 
WEEK #3: Your box needs to have things you would wish you have done different.

I wish I wasn't distracted by my parents' divorce so I could score in the exams. Then I would be able to enroll in my "ideal" diploma course which would have led to more diplomas.

I love this although it's hard to hear how your parents divorce affected you. It's so hard either way I think.
I love that you did this so we could see the tins from SOSN I was wondering how they would work. Thank you for sharing.
 
Here is Week 3. I altered a tin lid to make a deep tray as my "shadow box".



Here is my Week 4 layout. I included the little boy from Week 1, the photos of my grandkids from Week 2, and the padlock from Week 3. Thanks so much for a month of fun and the most challenging month of shadowing!!!!!!!

 
@dvhoward I loved that tin when I saw in the previews. You did such a good job. It looks like it was drawn on. And your shadow box is so well done. You incorporated each week well.
@weaselwatchr WOW! I don't know where to begin, but it's great. Did you do that tonight? I love seeing how different things work in that box.
