February prompts 2017 art journaling

FEBRUARY

The theme for February is LOVE, of course. 🙂

I have added a couple of short  meditations to deal with resistance, fear, and the inner critic. Basically, they are all one and the same, but sometimes we feel more fear than resistance, so it’s easier to deal with the feeling that comes up. These are tools that come in handy “forever.”

Bring a notebook and pen to your meditations.

The prompts are fun this month. We have to celebrate Valentine’s Day of course, with ART.

Prompt 1: Write the word LOVE in the middle of a journal page (spread) and doodle all around it. I used colored pencils.

Prompt 2: Using only TWO colors, and shades thereof, create a face. It can be collaged with paper scraps or painted. Do it your way! 🙂 I went Picasso style here.

Prompt 3: Make a spread of chocolate and flowers. 🙂

Prompt 4: What can you do this month to improve your self care? Examples: pictures of exercise, meditation, healthier foods, something that brings you more joy. I need to have more varied fun in my life.

Have fun with these and please post pictures in the FB group!
