Text as Design Lesson

JOURNAL PAGE
This was a fun lesson.
My online teacher, Laure Ferlita, encouraged us to use text 
on our journal pages and incorporate it as art.
We were asked to use our theme 
in our practice journals and then choose
one of our favorites for a page.

I choose this page because the word was short!
It was easier to create art with 3 letters.
And, I wanted to show how simple things
 can become serendipities for me.
I love my cup of tea, getting snail mail and  
having a small bunch of posies in my apartment.
I pick one or two flowers each morning 
as I come home from my walk. 

I consider these simple pleasures gifts from God;
thus the ribbon and celebratory colors!


PRACTICE PAGE

My theme is "Serendipities". 
This is a very long word.
It means the finding of small joys and pleasures in my day.
If I keep my eyes open,
 there are so many small gifts that grace my day. 
I love living with a sense of expectation
that God is going to surprise me 
if I stay awake and aware.

Fun page! The little things are what make life worthwhile really. Everyone can find some little serendipitous thing in each day and if we can't we really need to pay more attention don't we?
